Hello all,

I have been playing with the billing tool, which is fantastic Im sure from what it does, but I would like to be able to bill clients simply by the total number of sensors under their remote probe.

It looks like I need to utilize a sensor factory, but this doesnt actually solve the issue, since the sensor factory also breaks down to analyzing data rather than counting total sensors deployed.

I realize this is a somewhat obscure question, but if anyone has suggestions on how this could be done, I would be very grateful.

Could you please elucidate? Do you want to bill based on the number of sensors or on the actual data the sensors are showing?

Just looking to bill solely off total sensor count under a remote probe. I worked on answering this myself, and have come close with the API. Running the following API query gets me a speadsheet with a sensor list, with Probe being a column I can sort ...

/api/table.xml?content=sensors&output=csvtable&columns=objid,probe,group,device,sensor

This is a step in the right direction, but the ultimate goal would be an API I can feed into the billing tool, that just produces the number of sensors under a probe

Example:

RemoteProbe1=52
