Metric Data import

This event allows users to schedule the importing of Metrics data from the server. This is most common where the data is coming from another system, or via some kind of automated process.

Administrators can define the directory location where the CSV file(s) will be available and set a Run Time. The event will run at that time every day and process the CSV files.

This configuration can be viewed under Designer Menu path separator Events Menu path separator Metrics - Data Import
