# Scripting Recipe Custom Metrics(Kaspersky)

## Objective

This article will give you an example of how to capture custom metrics from the Kaspersky homepage with the help of Catchpoint's[insight](https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/) feature and store the captured data to analyze it in the portal.

## Prerequisites

- Access to the Catchpoint portal with create/modify test permission.
- Basic understanding of [Navigation Timing   API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigation_timing_API).
- Working knowledge of   [runScript](https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/transaction-commands-and-macros#runScript),   [storeScriptVariable](https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/transaction-commands-and-macros#storeScriptVariable),   and   [setIndicator](https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/transaction-commands-and-macros#setIndicator)   script commands.

## Process

- Login to the portal

- Set up Insight indicator <a href="https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/"   target="_blank" rel="noopener">(Guide for Insight Settings).</a>

- Create a transaction test or run an instant transaction test using the script given below.

- Hit Save and your Transaction test to capture custom metrics are ready!

setStepName("1. Africa About Us Page")

// Get the custom metric using JavaScript.
runScript("var timingObj = timing.getTimes(); var firstPaintTimeVal=timingObj.firstPaintTime;")
runScript("var totalLoadTimeVal = performance.timing.loadEventEnd - performance.timing.fetchStart;")
runScript("var totalbackendTimeVal = performance.timing.responseEnd - performance.timing.fetchStart;")
runScript("var totalfrontendTimeVal = (performance.timing.domComplete - performance.timing.domInteractive) + (performance.timing.domInteractive - performance.timing.responseEnd)")
runScript("var backendNetworkTimeVal = performance.timing.connectEnd - performance.timing.connectStart;")

// Store the values in script variable. storeScriptVariable("firstPaintTime", "firstPaintTimeVal;")
storeScriptVariable("totalLoadTime", "totalLoadTimeVal;")
storeScriptVariable("totalbackendTime", "totalbackendTimeVal;")
storeScriptVariable("totalfrontendTime", "totalfrontendTimeVal;")
storeScriptVariable("backendNetworkTime", "backendNetworkTimeVal;")

// store the value in indicator. setIndicator("token_here", "${var(firstPaintTime)}")
setIndicator("token_here", "${var(totalLoadTime)}")
setIndicator("token_here", "${var(totalbackendTime)}")
setIndicator("token_here", "${var(totalfrontendTime)}")
setIndicator("token_here", "${var(backendNetworkTime)}")
