View and Configure Metrics
System Builder automatically creates a metric for each enabled Active Power/Energy register type (See Configure Meter > Modbus Configuration Editor). This metric applies to all registers of the same type/configuration across any connected meters/lines. If meters on the same gateway use different register configurations (e.g. Active Power registers using integer vs. floating point values), System Builder creates one metric per configuration. |
-
In System view, select the gateway and open the Metrics tab in the Properties window.
-
Here you can see various properties for each metric. Only the following properties are editable:
-
Enable: Enabled/Disabled
-
Polling interval: hh:mm:ss (default 00:15:00).
Shorter intervals provide more frequent polling, while longer intervals reduce network traffic.
