Custom metrics in OpenMetadata enhance profiling capabilities by enabling users to define and compute unique business metrics using custom SQL queries. These metrics can be added at both the table and column levels, allowing tailored analysis specific to organizational needs. Once defined, custom metrics are incorporated into the profiler workflow, and their computed values are displayed alongside system metrics in the table and column profiles. This feature provides a flexible way to track specific data insights, empowering users to gain deeper visibility into their datasets.
