Metric Family

Metric Families let you create metric variants as child metrics of a parent metric. When you update a parent metric, the changes cascade automatically to its child metrics, keeping all related metric definitions consistent. Use a Metric Family to manage a large catalog of near-identical metric variants without editing each one manually.

Create a child metric

To create a child metric, select the Create Child Metric option in the dropdown menu in the top right corner of a metric.

You can track the child metrics for a given parent metric using the metric family icon in the top right.

Deleting and archiving

When you delete or archive a parent metric, Statsig deletes or archives all of its child metrics as well. When you re-enable the parent, Statsig automatically restores those child metrics. You can't restore child metrics disabled through the parent individually; you can only re-enable them by restoring the parent metric.

If you delete or archive a child metric independently of its parent, you can restore the child metric on its own. The restored child metric returns as a standalone metric without its original parent-child relationship.

In experiments

When you select a Parent Metric in Experiment setup, Statsig adds all of its child metrics as well. You can remove any metrics you don’t need in the experiment.
