# Class Metric

java.lang.Object
com.castlabs.sdk.debug.metric.Metric

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `BandwidthMetric`, `BufferAheadMetric`, `BufferBehindMetric`, `ChunkDownloadTimeMetric`, `PlayingQualityMetric`, `RateLimitMetric`, `SelectedQualityMetric`

public abstract class Metric extends Object
Abstract class that provides the required underlying infrastructure to interact with the `PlayerMetricChart` and provide the necessary data to it.

You can create additional Metrics by extending this class. In addition to the abstract methods, you have access to the following:

- `addTimedDataPoint(float)`: Main data input. Use this method to add a data point to this metric.
- dataSet: You can use this protected property to modify the underlying dataSet, right after calling the super constructor
- Configuration overridable methods, `replicateLastValue()`, `keepLastDroppedValue()` and `extendToRightEdge()`.

Since:
  4.2.0
