Push custom metrics to IT Glue

We want the ability to push custom metrics to Glue. For example, we have a custom PowerBI Security Dashboard that uses metrics from many inspectors.
We want the ability to select a list of metrics that get pushed to an IT Glue flexible asset with a name we choose, like "Security Metrics."

Improve ITGlue Pro Sync to Include Liongard and Custom Metrics with Toggle Options
Request: Add the ability for the ITGlue Pro Sync feature to sync both Liongard metrics (like Inspector insights) and custom metrics, with a simple toggle option so MSPs can choose which metrics to include in the sync to ITGlue Configurations.
Problem Statement:
The ITGlue Pro Sync is great for syncing basic configuration data, but it leaves out key Liongard metrics and custom metrics that MSPs rely on to track important details. For example:
A custom metric monitoring for a specific Conditional Access policy like “Block Legacy Authentication” to ensure security compliance.
A custom metric defining a unique version of an active Microsoft 365 user, such as users with enabled mailboxes who logged in within the last 30 days.
Right now, MSPs have to manually add this information to ITGlue, which takes time, increases the chance of errors, and slows down their processes.
Why This Is Important:
Adds Value to Pro Sync: Including metrics makes the Pro Sync feature more useful and much easier to sell because it becomes a true “one-stop” sync for all critical data.
Saves Time: Automating the sync of these metrics eliminates repetitive manual work and ensures data in ITGlue is always accurate and up to date.
Gives MSPs More Control: The toggle feature ensures MSPs can decide what data gets synced, so ITGlue Configurations stay clean and focused on the most important details.
Helps with Real-World Scenarios: MSPs rely on these metrics to track compliance, licenses, and other client-specific details, making it essential for their day-to-day workflows.
How It Could Work:
Sync Liongard Metrics: Automatically sync useful metrics like SSL certificate expirations, backup compliance, or security settings (e.g., Conditional Access policies).
Sync Custom Metrics: Any custom metric MSPs create in Liongard (e.g., “Active M365 Users”) can also be included.
Toggle Feature: A simple on/off toggle lets MSPs control which metrics sync to ITGlue, so only the relevant data is included.
Mapping: Allow MSPs to map Liongard and custom metrics to specific ITGlue Configuration fields for easy integration.
Use Case:
An MSP tracks a custom metric for Microsoft 365 active users, defined as users with mailboxes enabled who’ve logged in within the last 30 days. Right now, they have to log into ITGlue and manually update configurations to reflect this metric.
With this enhancement:
The metric syncs automatically, so ITGlue is always up to date.
The MSP uses the toggle to include this metric while excluding less important ones, keeping their ITGlue setup clean.
During audits or client meetings, the MSP can quickly pull up accurate data without extra effort.
Another example: The MSP uses a custom metric to check for a specific Conditional Access policy, like “Block Legacy Authentication.” Syncing this metric automatically keeps ITGlue aligned with Liongard and ensures compliance data is always at their fingertips.
Partner Feedback:
Partners consistently mention that syncing Liongard and custom metrics into ITGlue would save time and make their workflows much more efficient. Many have also asked for a way to toggle what gets synced, so they can avoid cluttering ITGlue Configurations with unnecessary data. Adding this functionality would make the Pro Sync feature much more valuable and easier to promote.
