For better performance, Audit metric count have changed to be an estimate.
To view the subsystem values during processing, from Composer, click the Monitoring icon (), and then click Status > Subsystems. By default, the metrics values refresh automatically every 24 hours. If the ThingWorx Platform restarts before 24 hours, you may lose some data. Here is an example of a report that includes metrics for the categories selected:
