Usage metrics are used to measure the user demand or workload for the service. Usage metrics are collected based on the usage of the underlying system components on which the service is hosted. You can monitor the usage of a specific component or statistically calculate the average, minimum and maximum value from a set of components. For example, if you are defining an email service, which depends on an IMAP server, then you can use the ‘Total Client Connections' metric of the IMAP server to represent usage of this email service.

Usage metrics can be defined only for services that are associated with a system.
For the Chart on Home Page, select a metric that best represents the usage of your service.
If you delete a metric, the usage metrics of the aggregate / generic services dependent on this metric will be impacted.
