# Asset Metrics
## The Asset Metrics Menu provides detailed insight into telemetry data generated by connected devices, enabling performance monitoring, diagnostics, and operational forecasting. It is accessible from the left-hand sidebar within any asset record and includes three tabs: Metrics, Meters, and Counters.
The **Asset M****etrics** gives operations, maintenance, and customer success teams a rich visual and numerical understanding of an asset's telemetry. These tools support timely decision-making, efficient diagnostics, and compliance monitoring.
### Time Bar & Screen Controls
Across all three sub-tabs (Metrics, Meters, Custom Counters), the top of the screen includes shared control tools:
- **Date Range Selector**: Navigate through preset (Today, Week, Month) or custom date ranges to filter the data displayed.
- **Time Bar**: Visually highlights the timespan of captured data for quick scrolling and focus. You can pause or play this view using the playback control.
- **Toggle Options**:
- **Bullets / Detailed**: Switch between high-level readings or individual data point granularity.
- **Anomalies Toggle**: Show or hide outlier readings to assist in diagnostics or threshold alerts.
- **Display Options**: Use chart icons (top-right of the graph) to toggle between line, stacked, or bar views, or to expand into full-screen mode for detailed review.

### 1. **Metrics Tab**
Displays time-series telemetry data captured from the asset's device.
#### **Key Components:**
- **Graph Timeline:** Visualises trends for key metrics such as:
- **Battery Voltage** (V)
- **Fuel Level** (%)
- **Active** (bool)
- **Heading** (bearing)
- **Speed**, **Engine Speed**, **Engine Road Speed** (km/h, rpm)
- **Coolant Temp**, **Cranking Voltage**
- **Toggle Controls:**
- **Bullets / Detailed / Anomalies** – Refine chart visuals to highlight only bullet points, display detailed graph lines, or reveal detected anomalies.
- **Summary Table:** Lists each metric with:
- **Latest Value**
- **Unit**
- **Last 24 Hours Activity**
- **Last Updated Timestamp**
#### **Purpose:**
#### Enables diagnostics, performance tracking, and anomaly detection (e.g. engine overheating, battery failure). Useful in maintenance planning and remote support.
---
### 2. **Meters Tab**
Meters provide cumulative values relevant for operational metrics like usage and wear.
#### **Tracked Metrics:**
- **Odometer** (km):
- Derived from device, customer input, or Perspio-calculated values.
- Useful for mileage tracking, maintenance thresholds, lease agreements.
- **Run Hours** (hr):
- Represents active engine time.
- Valuable for service scheduling and usage auditing.
- **Preferred Source Indicators:**
- Graph legends show which meter source is actively displayed (Device, Perspio, Customer).
#### **Purpose:**
Supports lifecycle and servicing workflows. Accurate meter readings ensure proactive maintenance, reduce downtime, and preserve asset value.
---
### 3. Custom **Counters Tab**
Custom counters track binary or incremental activities like:
- **Door Open Time**
- **Custom triggers** (e.g. reefer alerts, crane lifts, compressor cycles)
Counters can be configured in schemas or defined by integrations. More info [here](https://help.perspio.io/help/edit-asset-profile-colours?hsLang=en).
#### **Purpose:**
Offers precise visibility into repetitive mechanical actions or compliance requirements. Example: monitor how long refrigerated trailer doors remain open.
