 | COUNT        | Represents the total number of event occurrences in one time interval. This value can be reset to zero, but cannot be decreased.                | You want to count the number of logs with `status:error`.                                         |
 | GAUGE        | Represents a snapshot of events in one time interval.                                                                                           | You want to measure the latest CPU utilization per host for all logs in the production environment. |
 | DISTRIBUTION | Represent the global statistical distribution of a set of values calculated across your entire distributed infrastructure in one time interval. | You want to measure the average time it takes for an API call to be made.                           |
