I'm not seeing any informative system tags for Perspective like there are for DB or MQTT connections. If I wanted to track the number of active sessions historically, is my best option to make a timed script that uses `system.perspective.getSessionInfo` to figure out how many are active and then write it to a memory tag? ---

Your approach is the first thing that came to mind. It would obviously be better to subscribe to a counter value somewhere rather than calculate this yourself, but if you need this functionality now, that seems like it'll work (in combination with setting tag history on that memory tag). I just wanted to mention that [if you use EAM](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/tags/types-of-tags/system-tags#eam-system-tags), there IS a Perspective sessions-specific Gateway tag. It doesn't look like that count is included without the EAM module, though. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/9/e93801301ae71a3d98f1970dc6b07a8a5d62bb70.png)
