<p>Metrics given to the callback function.</p>
<p>Depending on the life of the stream the metrics may include more or less information.</p>
<p>The <code>set_options</code> command can be used to add additional metadata in the <code>user_data</code> metric. This can be used for example to add the handler module which was selected by the router. The option to be set is <code>metrics_user_data</code>. It takes a map which will be merged in the existing <code>user_data</code> map.</p>
