SELECT * FROM ProcessSample
```

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:

Until October/November 2024 these aggregated event buckets only contained 1 average value per metric. Starting in October/November 2024, we've improved the aggregation to use the [gauge format](/docs/data-apis/understand-data/metric-data/metric-data-type/) for correct differentiation between `max()`, `min()`, and `average()` values.

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.

@nr-ksteinbach What do you think of this revision? Also, how can customers check if their metrics have been migrated?


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).
