I know that within a module you can add custom metrics, that can be shown on the gateway webpages [dashboard](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Diagnostics+-+Metrics+Dashboard).

However I have a project that is using a singleton to manage a bunch of variant threads performing specific tasks. This is all in python, and not done through a module, so I was curious if I am able to add my own metrics directly through project based scripting?

My guess is something in [com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.metrics](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.15/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/metrics/package-summary.html) however an example of where to even start would be fantastic.

I know that I could create my metrics as tags, and then create a dashboard that looks at those tag values, but being able to use the gateway webpages dashboard is ideal in this scenario.
