Aggregation types
COUNT
The count aggregation type is straightforward. It tallies the exact number of events received during a period.
COUNT calculation method
COUNT billable metric
Here is how you can create a count aggregation from the UI:
- Access the “Billable metrics” section via the side menu;
- Create a new billable metric;
- Define a name, a code and an optional description;
- Select “count” as the aggregation type;
- Apply dimension groups if any; and
- Click “Add billable metric”.
This billable metric is metered
only, meaning it cannot be recurring, and the number
of billing units resets to 0 at the end of each period.
Calculation example
Lago calculates the COUNT(events.code)
for the two following events received.
In that case, with this aggregation type, Lago simply counts the number events received, resulting in a billable value of 2 units.
