How to meter the number of active seats or users for a customer

there are two common approaches depending on what type of tracking you need 1\ tracking all users (added and removed) use the running total meter send a value of 1 when a user is added send a value of 1 when a user is removed optionally, define a timeout period (e g end of the billing cycle) to reset the count to 0 this method helps track how many users are currently assigned at any given time 2\ tracking only active users use the unique count meter send an event each time a user logs in or performs an action use a unique identifier (e g username or user id) as the unique dimension this method gives you the count of distinct users who were active during a given billing period 📘 faqs and how tos docid\ bq14rede1rrwst00mbikx see related from metering and event ingestion how to measure a multi step process using a duration meter docid\ jejnqgjekdtlycfyxzsjj how to track seat based objects in amberflo docid\ k8g0vmh6adgukb3dmezay how to understand dimensions in amberflo docid\ ai7gyga p lhj8fwzca f how to verify the accuracy of meter data docid\ ne5rit1fjkfpatdbiej s how to track and bill for "high watermark" usage docid\ g l0lgdqyvfnccrsv2xbr how to handle erroneous or incorrect meters sent to amberflo docid\ awzcv2cw6swss2ffmcl58 how to find the meter id for retrieving and deleting a specific meter docid\ ty1vub6lz6u3fo nbfgb6 how to delete meters that are no longer in use docid\ x x7d16c6dwqrz zfdyvk how to handle high volume, high cardinality event streams docid\ edxld02jcxuqp2dkmd3 b
