Create billable metrics with Basic Filters | Metronome

The Basic Filters editor is a structured query builder designed to provide out-of-the-box filters and aggregations on your usage stream. All metrics defined with the Basic Filters editor are created as streaming billable metrics.

For this example, create a metric to track “API Calls” for a hypothetical cloud service.

This billable metric counts all successful API calls broken out by user_id, providing a simple but effective measure of platform usage across an organization.
