# Metrics Dictionary

This file is autogenerated, please do not edit directly.

To generate these files from the GitLab repository, run:

```shell
bundle exec rake gitlab:usage_data:generate_metrics_dictionary
```

The Metrics Dictionary is based on the following metrics definition YAML files:

- [`config/metrics`]('https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/config/metrics')
- [`ee/config/metrics`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master/ee/config/metrics)
Each table includes a `milestone`, which corresponds to the GitLab version when the metric
was released.
