Amberflo provides a comprehensive set of Meter Types that allow for the tracking and aggregation of any resource. We aim to provide a flexible set of options for the frequency and method of reporting (usage events).

At a high level, we have separated the meter creation process into three stages. In the first, we will configure the use case. This includes the use case of the meter event (usage or seat-based) and the scenario to aggregate metering events. In the second step, we will configure the event payload and dimensions. In the last step, we will configure the meter details such as name and description.

Amberflo Cloud Metering Service automatically collects, persists, and aggregates the meter data in real-time. Meters are defined based on the Use Case, Scenario, and Event Type that are selected as shown in the meter list view below.

Usage-based Meters

Usage-based meters track how much your customers consume from a resource. It has two Scenarios and two Event Types to choose from.

Scenarios

Usage-based scenarios (sum or average), are used to apply functions on the the events that are ingested into Amberflo.
