Is it possible to get the number of open perspective sessions (that can be seen in the gateway) in a tag or through a script?

Yes - I would start with the [system.perspective.getSessionInfo](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/system.perspective.getSessionInfo) script function to get the list of all Perspective sessions.

How about from gateway scope? I see that function’s scope is only a perspective session, how would you get it from a gateway scope?

I just double-checked and that function may be invoked from the Gateway.
