Slicing Dimensions

Here we provide definitions and information about our standard slicing dimensions.

Note: the canonical, maintained dimension definitions now live as [dimensions.*] TOML blocks in the metric-hub repository (see definitions/*.toml and opmon/*.toml), consumed programmatically by OpMon, Jetstream, and Looker. This page remains a stub template and does not reflect current practice.
