Statsig metrics measure how users interact with your product and form the basis for experiment analysis. Set up your essential product metrics by working through these core concepts:

1. [How Metrics Work on Statsig](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/how-metrics-work)
2. [Raw Events](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/raw-events)

   - [Types of Raw Events](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/raw-events#types-of-raw-events)
   - [Unit Identifiers](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/raw-events#unit-identifiers) required for raw events
   - [ID Mapping Considerations](https://docs.statsig.com/experiments/create-new#id-mapping-capabilities) for cross-ID analysis
   - [Ingesting Raw Events](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/raw-events#ingesting-raw-events)
   - [Seeing Raw Events in the Statsig Console](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/raw-events#raw-events-in-console)
3. [Auto-generated Events](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/raw-event-metrics)

   - [Event Count](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/raw-event-metrics#event-count-metric) and [Event DAU](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/raw-event-metrics#event-dau-metric) metrics
   - [User Accounting](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/raw-event-metrics#user-accounting-metrics)
4. [Custom Metrics](https://docs.statsig.com/metrics/custom-metrics)
