No spaces are allowed
TRUE
The name of the metric
unit
string
A supported unit or a custom unit (see supported units of measure)
The unit of measure of the metric

Notice that supported units of measure are automatically scaled for visualization purposes. In particular, for units of information, Akamas uses a base 2 scaling for bytes, i.e., 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes, 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes, and so on. Other units of measure are only scaled up using millions or billions (e.g., 124000000 custom units become 124 Mln custom units).
