Gauges
A gauge is a metric that represents a single number which can go up and down. They are very similar in concept to prometheus gauges.
Gauges represent a continuous state that a player is in. Currently there are two types of gauges available: Continuous and Distinct.
Gauges enable you to create your own attribute cards, which allow you to color by, and filter users based on the gauges state.
Note
StarWatch already includes many attribute cards by default. Gauges let you build and configure ones tailored to your game.
Examples
Here are some examples of things that gauges are useful for.
| Continuous examples | Discrete examples |
|---|---|
| Player Health | Player Class |
| Score | Current Graphics Level |
| Memory % Used | isAirborne |
| CPU % Used | isNewGamePlus |
Setup
To send gauge data, refer to the get started documentation for your SDK.
Once the gauge information is being sent, it will become available to configure within your Game Legend.
