# Configure telemetry

The RFID Telemetry Console Extension provides a set of visual tools you can use to directly manipulate objects to display telemetry information about RFID Edge Server instances. You can display telemetry data about any of the RFID Edge Server instances that are configured in the RFID Edge Server Administration Console.

When you launch the RFID Edge Server Administration Console, the Console appears with three tabs: RFID Console, Alerts, and Telemetry. By default, the RFID Console page is initially selected on login.

To display the Telemetry Console Extension:

1. Select the Telemetry tab.

   These tabs are always present so you can easily move back and forth between the primary RFID Administration Console pages, the Alerts page, and the Telemetry Console Extension.

   All Telemetry Console Extension functionality occurs in the context of a Java applet. Each time you select the Telemetry page, the applet is loaded. When you select the RFID Console page, the applet is unloaded, and you are returned to the RFID Administration Console context that existed before you displayed the Telemetry Console Extension.

2. Select a Built-in View, a predefined view that surfaces some of the more typical RFID performance metrics for each Edge Server configured in the RFID Edge Server Administration Console.
   - EventCyclesCompleted - For each Edge Server configured in the Console, a chart displays the number of event cycles completed within the specified telemetry interval. The telemetry time interval is configurable. See Changing the Sample Interval.
   - ReadCycleTime - For each RFID Device configured on an Edge Server, a chart displays the amount of time each logical reader (antenna) is taking for a read cycle.
3. Create a Custom View that you can save and access again when needed. A custom view is any view you create.
