+Metrics from the New Relic infrastructure agent (`SystemSample`, `StorageSample`, `NetworkSample`, and `ProcessSample`) get aggregated into buckets to improve the query performance over longer periods of time.
+NRQL queries scoped to under 1 hour of time will scan the raw data. For queries scoped over 1 hour, data will be scanned in the following aggregated buckets:
+*  1 minute (scopes of 1 hour to 6 hours)
+*  10 minutes (scopes of 6 hours to 3 days)
+*  1 hour (scopes of 3 days to 14 days)
+*  3 hours (scopes of 14+ days)

 You can also [query infrastructure using dimensional metrics](/docs/query-your-data/nrql-new-relic-query-language/nrql-query-tutorials/query-infrastructure-dimensional-metrics-nrql).
 
+<Callout variant="important">
+Historically, these aggregated event buckets only contained one average value per metric. During October and November 2024, we're gradually migrating the aggregation to use the [gauge format](/docs/data-apis/understand-data/metric-data/metric-data-type/) instead. This allows you to differentiate between `max()`, `min()`, and `average()` values.
+
+To check if your data is using the gauge format, run a query like this:
+
+```
+FROM SystemSample SELECT cpuPercent SINCE 90 minutes ago
+```
+
+If the result shows `"type": "gauge"`, your data is using the new format.
