There is no tag support for the Sensor Factory. Please create the channel definition manually.

What your suggestion if we monitor 250 traffic sensor on 250 different device and i need to make the sum of all ? I create a sensor factory for testing but it hard to integrate all sites manually in sensor Factory. Do you plan to support tag ? Like 

#1 :description
sum(tagName,channelId)

Is it possible to select a specific channelId in report. I need only the sum of traffic sensor in report.

Thanks
