Customize metrics

All of the widgets in a report's tab use one or more metrics by default. However, some of the widgets let you view custom data via the Analyze data (IMAGE_STUB) functionality, and you can add or remove metrics. See Analyze data shown in a report for full details.

Metrics and the Media Delivery Reports API

What's covered here only reflects the metrics in the Media Delivery Reports user interface for these products. However, these legacy products also offer individual API operations you can use to view a list of their available metrics:
