1. A system hosted by a data center having a plurality of pods, the system comprising:
at least one memory configured to store a metrics table and a queries table, wherein the metrics table includes a column configured to store a respective metric value for each of the plurality of pods of the data center; and
at least one processor configured to execute instructions stored in the at least one memory to perform actions comprising:
selecting a query from the queries table, wherein the query is associated with the column of the metrics table; and
for each pod of the plurality of pods of the data center:
generating a uniform resource locator (URL) that encodes the query to calculate the respective metric value for the pod of the data center;
accessing the URL to execute the encoded query and, in response, receiving the respective metric value for the pod of the data center; and
updating the column of the metrics table to include the respective metric value for the pod of the data center.
