Troubleshooting
The test passes but no reading appears.
Intercom is a Pick the metric source. A working connection produces nothing until you choose a metric and its period. Then check the metric's reporting period and the source's data-through date.
A number differs from Intercom.
Compare the definition, unit and reporting period with the same number in Intercom before treating a difference as an error. When a stored reading changes, its history keeps the old value, the new value and the reason.
