Ops Manager v6.0 will EOL in January 2025. Upgrade to a higher Ops Manager version as soon as possible.

The measurements endpoint returns the available measurement types for use with the Ops Manager Measurements API resource.

Host Measurements

`QUERY_TARGETING_SCANNED_PER_RETURNED`	Ratio of the number of index items scanned to the number of documents returned.
`QUERY_TARGETING_SCANNED_OBJECTS_PER_RETURNED`	Ratio of the number of documents scanned to the number of documents returned.
