:description: {spec-name} support in Helidon MP
:keywords: helidon, mp, microprofile, metrics
:h1Prefix: MP

== Overview
Helidon provides three types of metrics: base, vendor, and application.  Helidon automatically provides built-in base and vendor metrics.
Applications can use these metrics without additional configuration or code changes.

== Next Steps

Learn more about https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-metrics/releases/tag/2.0[MicroProfile Metrics specification].

Create a sample MicroProfile (MP) project that can be used to run some basic examples using both built-in and custom metrics with Helidon MP. <<mp/guides/05_metrics.adoc, Helidon MP Metrics Guide>>.
