Disconnected Meters

This analysis rule indicates the measurement elements from the selected template that are not connected to a flow.

Any meter measurement that is not connected to a flow is reported to the Case log, which you can view in the Log tab of the Case Properties window. The output contains a list of meters in violation, and a description of the violation.

The following table lists a sample log output for this analysis.
