This section describes the various types of data generated by
the Apigee hybrid services, and the mechanisms by which hybrid collects
and surfaces this data to you.
The following table provides an overview of the three primary
types of data collected for the hybrid services:
Logging
Metrics
Analytics/Deployment Status
Purpose
Debugging and troubleshooting
Health monitoring and alerts
Analytics and API proxy deployment status
Bounded/Unbounded
Either (unbounded when debug is on; bounded when debug is off)
