Metrics
Splunk AppDynamics includes a wealth of metrics that reflect your application's performance. It also lets you extend and adapt metrics in specific ways. Information points, for example, allow you to create metrics based on data collected from application values, such as method parameters or return values. Percentile metrics let you configure metrics at deviation points that are useful to you.
You can create a metric from any application parameter using custom metrics. See Extensions and Custom Metrics for information on custom metrics.
