Metric tracking objects provides a common interface to all metrics provided by SoftLayer. These metrics range from network component traffic for a server to aggregated Bandwidth Pooling traffic and more. Every object within SoftLayer’s range of objects that has data that can be tracked over time has an associated tracking object.
