Every organisation will have 2 series automatically appear in their metrics tree:
metrictank.usage.numSeries: the amount of series seen for the given organisation, measured eachaccounting-period(see config)metrictank.usage.numPoints: a running counter that tracks how many points have been received for the given organisation.
The master org, org 1, will also have the following:
metrictank.usage-minus1.numSeriesmetrictank.usage-minus1.numPoints
These are the equivalents of the above, though they measure the amount of series and points under the special org -1.
These series are automatically populated as data for given organisations is seen. They are stored just like any other series.
