+        Client-side metrics are measured from the time a request leaves your application to the time your application receives the response.

+        
+        These metrics are enabled by default. You can opt out of using client-side metrics with the following code:
+        
+        ```javascript

+                disableBuiltInMetrics: true
+        });

+        
+        You can also disable these metrics by setting `SPANNER_DISABLE_BUILTIN_METRICS` to `true`.
