## Description Metrics Platform provides the least-effort approach to instrument WikiLambda for event logging, and appears to meet our needs (subject to further analysis). Once we've defined one or more streams, it's very easy to start creating instruments in JavaScript and/or PHP code. No schema creation is needed; MP relies on a predefined "monoschema". The essential requirement for defining an MP stream is to determine which of the predefined "contextual values" should be added to the stream's events, by MP. (Note: In addition to these contextual values, event-specific "custom values" can be specified by each instrument. These custom values are //not// mentioned in the stream's definition.) Once these contextual values have been determined, and a stream name chosen, the stream can be declared in [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/operations/mediawiki-config/%2B/master/wmf-config/ext-EventStreamConfig.php | ext-EventStreamConfig.php]], for production and beta, or in [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/operations/mediawiki-config/%2B/master/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings-labs.php | InitialiseSettings-labs.php]], for beta only.
