Adding a computed measurement

Pre-requisites

A computed measurement requires design and scripting in order for it to work correctly. If this is your first time creating a computed measurement, please read this guide first.

You should also be similar with the basic measurements and its concepts. Please read this section if you require a refresher.

You should

• Note down the source measurements.
• Note down the metrics you want to output.
• Decide on a set of tags to use or re-use. Make sure that there is a combination of tags that will uniquely identify the unit/device/equipment that outputs those metrics.
• Have the computed measurement script ready.
• (Optional) Have a set of test data for your computed measurement
