When transitioning from event import to metric import, it is essential to understand the ingestion status and the steps required to archive metrics that are no longer needed. After switching to metric import, if you have precomputed metrics, ingesting these metrics directly can be more efficient than importing raw events.
Once the change is made, there may be a need for adjustments on the backend to accommodate the new import method. This initial setup is a one-time speedbump, and once resolved, metrics should start appearing as expected. If you notice that some metrics have complete data for a specific date range while others do not, it may be due to the ingestion process still being underway or a need for a backfill to import historical data.
For metrics generated from the previous event ingestion job, such as event_count and event_dau types, consider archiving them if they are no longer relevant to your current data structure and needs. Archiving these metrics can help maintain a clean and efficient data environment.
