The only thing about ‘numeric’ is that it is not very specific. Numeric just means number
— every metric is a number so its really not adding anything. Even availability data is
numeric.
Metrics might not just be numeric. Right now we have simple numeric and availability. We
will probably have events at in the future. We might also have multi-value numeric
metrics, e.g., call time in RHQ. And I could also see multi-value metrics consisting of
numeric and text data.
