> - **SYSTEM Metrics** are very useful to instrument code, track ephemeral information and get a better visibility into what is happening. (Example of metrics: nbr of requests, requests per second, nbr of exceptions, response time, etc ...) The idea is that if we have multiple Nautobot instances running behind a load balancer each one will produce a different set of metrics and the monitoring system needs to collect these metrics from all running instances and aggregate them in a dashboard. Nautobot exposes some system metrics by default at `localhost/metrics`. | ||
> - **APPLICATION Metrics** are at a higher level and represent information that is the same across all instances of an application running behind a load balancer. if I have 3 instances of Nautobot running, there is no point to ask each of them how many Device objects I have in the database, since they will always return the same information. In this case, the goal is to expose only 1 endpoint that can be served by any running instance. | ||

> Yes, this is expected. This API endpoint is not published in the swagger documentation because it's not a REST compatible endpoint. | ||
