launchdarkly-metric-create

To create a LaunchDarkly metric, you define a user-facing event within a specific project and environment, select the metric kind (custom, pageview, or click), and set the measure type. This workflow scans existing metrics to avoid duplicates and requires confirmation before finalizing the metric creation.

The best way to verify instrumentation for LaunchDarkly experiments is to run a workflow that checks existing event tracking within your chosen environment. This process ensures your pageviews, button clicks, or custom events are properly instrumented and validated before metric creation.

Metric creation works by loading environment tools to list existing metrics and events, proposing a suitable key and name to prevent duplicates, and configuring the correct metric kind and measure type. The system requires explicit user confirmation before creating the final metric.

Yes, you can use this workflow to instrument click events and pageviews for LaunchDarkly rollouts. It supports common scenarios like pageviews, button clicks, and custom events, linking the tracked data to your chosen project and environment for accurate experiment measurement.

Yes, you need to specify a project and environment to set up LaunchDarkly metrics. The workflow loads environment-specific tools to retrieve configuration details and ensure the metric is correctly scoped to the right project context before you confirm creation.

LaunchDarkly experiment metrics may not track custom events properly if instrumentation steps are skipped or the wrong metric kind is selected. You must ensure the event is instrumented and verify the configuration matches the custom event, pageview, or click before creating the metric.
