## Metric data rollup

[Metric timeslice data](/docs/using-new-relic/data/understand-data/new-relic-data-types#timeslice-data) is generated by APM (both custom metrics and default metrics), mobile, and browser agents. Metric timeslice data is aggregated like this:
* first to 1-minute rollups retained for 8 days
* then aggregated to 1-hour roll-ups for 90 days
[Metric timeslice data](/docs/using-new-relic/data/understand-data/new-relic-data-types#timeslice-data) is generated by APM (both custom metrics and default metrics), mobile, and browser agents. A metric timeslice consists of three parts: a metric name, the segment of time the metric represents (the "timeslice"), and a numeric value (the measurement). APM, broswer, and mobile agents can collect thousands of metric timeslices per minute for a variety of performance metrics, such as error rate, bandwidth usage, and garbage collection time.

Key metric data is stored indefinitely. We meter on the size of the initial 1-minute rollup, not on any of the subsequent rollups. Read on to learn the key metrics by product.
Metric timeslice data is aggregated and rolled up:
* first to 1-minute increments, known as rollups, that are retained for 8 days
* then, after 8 days, those 1-minute rollups are aggregated to 1-hour roll-ups that are retained for 90 days
