# Compute Metric Statistics

### Description

The Compute Metric Statistics processor can be used to calculate statistics for metrics over fixed time intervals to reduce metric throughput.

### Supported Types

| Metrics | Logs | Traces |
| ------- | ---- | ------ |
| ✓       |      |        |

### Example Configuration

#### Calculate Average, Minimum, and Maximum

Calculate the average, minimum, and maximum values of each incoming metric, and emit them with a `.avg`, `.min`, and `.max` suffix, respectively.

**Standalone Processor**

```yaml
apiVersion: bindplane.observiq.com/v1
kind: Processor
metadata:
  id: calculate-avg-min-max
  name: calculate-avg-min-max
spec:
  type: metric_stats
  parameters:
    - name: interval
      value: 60
    - name: include
      value: '.*'
    - name: stats
      value: ['min', 'max', 'avg']
```

#### Take the Most Recent Value

Take the last value of a metric over a 60 second interval, and emit the metric with a suffix of `.last`.
