-|[Azure Monitor Metrics](essentials/data-platform-metrics.md)|Metrics are numerical values that describe an aspect of a system at a particular point in time. [Azure Monitor Metrics](./essentials/data-platform-metrics.md) is a time-series database, optimized for analyzing time-stamped data. Azure Monitor collects metrics at regular intervals. Metrics are identified with a timestamp, a name, a value, and one or more defining labels. They can be aggregated using algorithms, compared to other metrics, and analyzed for trends over time. It supports native Azure Monitor metrics and [Prometheus based metrics](/articles/azure-monitor/essentials/prometheus-metrics-overview.md).|
