Use Meters to submit usage data for the consumption of your products and services by end customers. This usage data then becomes the basis for setting up usage-based pricing for your products and services. Examples of usage data collected in Meters:
  • Number of logins.
  • Duration of session.
  • Amount of data downloaded.
To collect usage data and ingest it into the platform, you can define two types of fields for Meters:
  • dataFields Used to collect raw usage data measures - numeric quantitative data values or non-numeric point data values.
  • derivedFields Used to derive usage data measures that are the result of applying a calculation to dataFields, customFields, or system Timestamp fields.
You can also:
  • Create customFields for a Meter, which allows you to attach custom data to the Meter as name/value pairs.
  • Create Global Meters, which are not tied to a specific Product and allow you to collect usage data that will form the basis of usage-based pricing across multiple Products.
Use of PII: The use of any of your end-customers’ Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in m3ter is restricted to a few fields on the Account entity. Please ensure that any fields you configure for Meters, such as Data Fields or Derived Fields, do not contain any end-customer PII data. See the Introduction section above for more details.
