Note: this component is designated "advanced", which means that objects of this type are not expected to be created or altered in most environments. If you believe that such a change is necessary, you may want to contact support in order to understand the potential impact of that change.

The Entry Counter Plugin provides the ability to count the number of entries matching specified sets of criteria and expose that information in monitor entries. Each set of criteria should be defined in an entry-counter-plugin-criteria object.
