Once an edge device begins communicating with Litmus Edge Manager, the metrics of your edge device become available in the *Metrics* tab.

The tab is divided into two sections:

- **DeviceHub** - lists all devices connected to the edge device; shows their status and the number of tags
- **Integration** - lists integration connectors defined for the edge device; shows their status, rate, and buffer size

Refer to the following metrics you can refer to on the Litmus Edge Manager User UI's *Edge Devices Metrics* tab.

## Additional Metrics

You can use additional metrics sources to set up an alert based on metrics collected by Litmus Edge Manager. The alert can trigger when a variable reaches a specific value or a set/interval of values.  Only one metrics rule can be created per alert. See [Set Up Alert Triggers](docId\:ssMqiDTPoBpV95sc3lkaC) for more.

:::hint{type="info"}
**Note:** You can set up alert triggers for different metrics of your edge devices in the *Triggers* section in the *Alerts* module. Review the [Alerts Guides](docId\:Z6I7f1kbZSHNsn6FZliSe) for setting up alert triggers.
