The next step is to execute the stream with meter processor, as the processing of the usage data and updates on meters relies on the stream execution. If a stream containing a Meter meter processor connected to a set of meters is not executed, the meters linked to that stream will not be updated, reset or flushed.
To ensure that meters are calculating for correct period and are being flushed as defined in Reset schedule, it is recommended to run the stream with a frequency higher than the meters are reset according to the meter types' Reset schedule. For example, if you have configured the meter type to reset the meters once a day, then the stream linked to your meter type should run at least once a day or more.

The Inspect view, can be used to get overview of the different meters associated with the Meter meter processor function and make sure that meters are being updated correctly after stream execution, see Meter Inspector.

When you have a stream in a real-time scenario, the scan to check meter period end will execute once every 60 seconds to check for any meters whose period has ended. This means that meters can be flushed once every minute. A Meter meter processor running in a real-time scenario can only be configured with a flush by Period end.
