Custom Metrics

You can create custom metrics to generate and monitor device data that falls outside of the Edge Signal default metric views by following the steps shown in the Custom Metrics documentation found here: https://docs.edgesignal.io/product-docs/monitoring/create-custom-metrics

Note: when you create a custom metric, it will be available across all your account projects
