Metric Template is used to perform the metric analysis. For metric templates, we have provided two categories. They are as follows:
a. APM & INFRA - This is the readymade form of the template where based on the industry standards the APM & INFRA of an enterprise application is pre-defined. In this case you do not have to set the APM or INFRA, they are already set.
