These tags exist for EAM agents, but what about for the local gateway?  
I want to know how many vision and perspective sessions are connected on my frontend gateway (and what if I don’t have EAM installed?)  
I know there’s the `[System]Gateway/Sessions/SessionCount` tag, ~~but this is a sum of _all_ clients, Designer, Vision, and Perspective~~ Actually, I think it’s just a sum of Designer and Vision clients… I don’t see the 22 Perspective clients counted :/. I need the separated tags

If unavailable at the moment, does anyone have the hacky Gateway Context code to retrieve this? I want to be able to see if memory issues can be correlated to increases in number of clients, and which type

And [system.util.getSessionInfo - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.util.getSessionInfo) I guess for Designers and Vision clients.  
I forgot about these 🙂 Although, it would be nice to have these as ready-available System tags as well 🙂 🙂

Cheers!

Yeah, in fairness, I think it is still a planned thing.
