Why operator throughput is zero?

Hello! I have a model that has multiple processors. Each processor uses operator to setup and process item. When I try to create a throughput chart for operators, I found that their input and output is zero. However, their state is utilize when they process the item. But, due to 0 input and 0 output, their throughput is 0. I want to track their utilization and throughput using their own statistics. How would I make their input and output based on the items they process?

Hello @Preet,

If you want to know the number of items the operator has worked on then it would be best to just look at the throughput of the processor itself. The input and output of the operator will increment when they load and unload items. Not when they process items.

If you really wanted the throughput to be on the operator itself you could create a label on them that is incremented when they process an item.

Hi @Jeanette F. Thank you. This makes sense. I considered processor throughput for my usecase.
