+= Use the select metrics emitted directly to your monitoring cluster
+++++
+<titleabbrev>Use local collection</titleabbrev>
+++++
+
+In 8.10 and later, we emit a selected set of metrics directly to the monitoring
+cluster.
+The benefit of using local collection instead of internal collection is that
+the metrics are sent directly to your main monitoring index, making it easier
+to view shared data.
+
+[[select-metrics]]
+== The select metrics
+
+We only ship a select list of metrics, to avoid overwhelming your monitoring cluster.
+If you need the entire set of metrics and traces we can expose, you should use
+<<configuration-instrumentation,Self Instrumentation>> instead of local
+collection.
+
+Here is the list of every metrics we currently expose:
+
+* http.server.request.count
+* http.server.response.valid.count
+* http.server.response.errors.count
+* http.server.errors.timeout
+* http.server.errors.ratelimit
+* grpc.server.request.count
