# Metrics

The metrics endpoint allows you to:

- Post metrics data so it can be graphed on Datadog's dashboards
- Query metrics from any time period
- Modify tag configurations for metrics
- View tags and volumes for metrics

**Note**: A graph can only contain a set number of points and as the timeframe over which a metric is viewed increases, aggregation between points occurs to stay below that set number.

The Post, Patch, and Delete `manage_tags` API methods can only be performed by a user who has the `Manage Tags for Metrics` permission.

See the [Metrics page](https://docs.datadoghq.com/metrics.md) for more information.
