## Overview

The topics in this category explain how to create, edit, archive, and delete metrics, and how to choose metrics to use with LaunchDarkly experiments, guarded rollouts, and release policies.

LaunchDarkly metrics can measure a wide variety of events such as user interface interactions or page views, or changes in your application codebase like the time required to process a transaction. The LaunchDarkly SDKs generate these metric events, and LaunchDarkly aggregates and analyzes the events based on the metrics you create.
