Overview

 

Counters are entities that aggregate metric information provided by MCL applications/devices paired with your MCL-Mobility Platform account.

Each counter can contain up to 20 metric values (= statistic results) which can be filtered/aggregated by time period and by key(s) - a primary and/or secondary key.

Counters can have an "Enabled" (default) or "Disabled" status. See Changing a Counter's Status.

•This window displays aggregated metric data, specifically, the statistic results for each metric ("Sample Count"; "Sum"; "Average"; "Min" and "Max").

 

•The data's display can be filtered according to source site (the site that provides the required metrics) and time frame (when the required metrics were received).

 

•If required, use a primary/secondary key to aggregate the displayed metric data further. For instance, if the counter is meant to receive a metric with operator information (ex: "Key 1: Operator ID"), you can enter an operator's ID code in one of the keys and the site/period filtered data will also be aggregated by operator.

 

•Click Refresh_Buttonto refresh the displayed data.

 

•If required, purge the aggregated metric data in the defined time frame (= the currently displayed data) with the Inspect Data_Purge Data Button  button.
