# Metrics

## Metrics

Several metrics are reported during intervals to the OpenWiFi Gateway. In general metrics contain traffic counters, neighbor tables, discovered clients.

Each OpenWiFi device is capable of sending statistics on SSID, LLDP, and associated Clients learned by the device.

Additionally, OpenWiFi devices expose all 802.11 management data within wifi-frames and to assist network troubleshooting and client fingerprinting solutions OpenWiFi provides dhcp-snooping for all possible client exchanges over DHCP and DHCPv6.

```
    "metrics": {
        "statistics": {
            "interval": 60,
            "types": [ "ssids", "lldp", "clients" ]
        },
        "health": {
            "interval": 300
        },
        "wifi-frames": {
            "filters": [ "probe",
                "auth",
                "assoc",
                "disassoc",
                "deauth",
                "local-deauth",
                "inactive-deauth",
                "key-mismatch",
                "beacon-report",
                "radar-detected"]
        },
        "dhcp-snooping": {
            "filters": [ "ack", 
                                "discover", 
                                "offer", 
                                "request", 
                                "solicit", 
                                "reply", 
                                "renew" ]
        }
```

The metrics data is sent to OpenWiFi Gateway at the intervals set where configurable.

Metrics must be associated with the interfaces they are to report on. For example, to send DHCP data from LAN to OpenWiFi Gateway, the following configuration would apply.

```
        {
            "name": "LAN",
            "role": "downstream",
            "services": [ "ssh", "lldp", "dhcp-snooping" ],
            "ethernet": [
                {
                    "select-ports": [
                        "LAN*"
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "ipv4": {
                "addressing": "static",
                "subnet": "192.168.1.1/24",
                "dhcp": {
                    "lease-first": 10,
                    "lease-count": 100,
                    "lease-time": "6h"
                }
            }
        }
    ],
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://tip-1.gitbook.io/openwifi/2.1.0/configuration-examples/metrics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
