Keep in mind that those metrics are sampled at the rate of topology.stats.sample.rate, 0.05 by default. If you turn it up to 1.0 you'll see full-resolution, though at the price of more time spent collecting metrics. *Michael Rose* Senior Software Engineer *Full*Contact | fullcontact.com m: +1.720.837.1357 | t: @xorlev All Your Contacts, Updated and In One Place.
