Measuring thruput of heavy forwarders in a dashboard. Would using "metrics.log group=thruput name=thruput" add both input and output thruput to the final result?

Hi, Quick question regarding metrics.log and a heavy forwarder (HF). I'm using a dashboard to measure the thruput on a few HF's and was curious if using `metrics.log group=thruput name=thruput` adds both input and output thruput to the final result ? Thanks!
