# aemetrics(5)

metrics values file format

## NAME

aemetrics - metrics values file format

## SYNOPSIS

*filename*`,S`

## DESCRIPTION

Metrics files are created at integration build time, and recorded into the file attributes at integration pass time. This allows trend analysis and other statistics to be calculated.

## CONTENTS

- metrics = \[ { ... } \];

  This field is used to describe various file metrics. It is committed during [*aeipass*(1)](/aeipass/1.md), when the file is added to the history. The name must be given, and exactly one value.

  - name = string;

    This is the name of the metric. This field must be set.

  - value = real;

    This is the value of the metric. This field must be set. (If you have an integer-valued metric, just use integers, Aegis will cope. If you have a string-valued metric, assign integers to the enumerands.)
