# Metric Template

Metric Template is used to perform the metric analysis. For metric templates, we have provided two categories. They are as follows:

* [**APM** ](#apm-metrics)**&** [**INFRA**](#infra-metrics) - 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.
* [**CUSTOM**](#custom-metric) -  For Custom metric templates you have to define the metrics based on your requirements and specifications. 

User can create a Metric Template while adding a [**Verification Gate**](https://docs.opsmx.com/user-guide/manage-pipelines/add-intelligent-gates-to-the-pipeline/verification-gate) to the application. To create a metric template follow the steps below:

User can add the Verification Gate after creating a pipeline to the application. 

To create an application, refer [**here**](https://docs.opsmx.com/release-history/previous-releases/isd-4.0/knowledgebase/manage-application/create-an-application)**.**

To create a pipeline, refer [**here**](https://docs.opsmx.com/release-history/previous-releases/isd-4.0/knowledgebase/manage-pipelines/create-a-pipeline)**.**

1. After creating a pipeline, go to **Pipelines** page, click **Configure** and select the required pipeline. Click **Add Stage**.
