Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with facilitating collection frequency based storage and processing of metric data are described. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a fact, where the fact corresponds to a given attribute of a given point type and determining a collection frequency with data corresponding to a value of the given attribute for a point of the given point type is collected. The method includes creating a sample table for storing the data, where the sample table records a point identifier, the data, and a collection time for the data. At least one aspect of the sample table is determined based on the collection frequency. The method includes storing subsequently received data in the sample table.
