In the Ignition Gateway Version: **8.1.45** , the Connected Devices count does not include the Initialized BacnetIpDevice, could you add a new metric or include those in this metric? Gateway/Status/Device

That metric simply counts the devices where their status string literally starts with `Connected`. Devices that cannot represent connection status as trivially as Connected versus Not connected simply cannot fit that metric.

Consider making a feature requested to enhance that summary to the quantity of each unique status string. (Feature requests are tracked at [the Ideas site](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/).)
