# queue_insert_latency
```
Type: Histogram
Buckets: 0.005, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0

latency of QueueManager::insert operations.
## Histogram
This metric is a histogram which means that it is exported as three underlying metrics:
* `queue_insert_latency_count` - a counter tracking how many events have been accumulated into the histogram
* `queue_insert_latency_sum` - a counter tracking the total value of all of the events have been accumulated into the histogram
* `queue_insert_latency_bucket` - a counter tracking the number of events that fall within the various buckets shown above. This counter has an additional `le` label that indicates the bucket threshold. For example, the first bucket for this histogram will generate a label `le="0.005"` which will keep track of the number of events whose value was *less-or-equal* (le) that value.
The recommended visualization for a histogram is a heatmap based on `queue_insert_latency_bucket`.
While it is possible to calculate a mean average for `queue_insert_latency` by computing `queue_insert_latency_sum / queue_insert_latency_count`, it can be difficult to reason about what that value means if the traffic patterns are not uniform since the launch of the process. We strongly recommend using a heatmap visualization instead of computing an average value.
