how to verify the accuracy of meter data validating the meter event schema "on write" chould interrupt the pipeline and cause events not to be sent to amberflo instead we allow users to validate "on read" and correct the event source if the format appears incorrect we recommend scheduling alerts to regularly verify that the data is being ingested in the correct volume and that the values are falling into the correct ranges you can schedule jobs here or use our apis to query the data directly here a common strategy is to create a realtime alert that is triggered if usage changes by greater than x percent this way you will be aware of any major changes or interruptions to the pipeline to verify that meters are being mapped correctly across all the objects in amberflo, we recommend using the 'by event' view this view contains all information about the meter, the timestamp of ingestion, all properties and dimension values, and which product item, pricing plan, and invoice the event is associated with if any of these items are incorrect, there may be a bug in the system reporting events to amberflo reach out to amberflo support for help identifying and resolving the issue 📘 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 meter the number of active seats or users for a customer docid\ vyzt7z7cdkrhjyl avl68 how to understand dimensions in amberflo docid\ ai7gyga p lhj8fwzca f 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
