How to group metrics using Regular Expression

[Vaibhav_Vir_Sin]

Hi Experts,

Want to know that if there is any feasibility to group the metrics using some regular epression for better visualization or analysis. ?

To elaborate, I have 100 EMS queues in EMS server instance, so if I want some 60 specific queues - pending message count graph details into one, I can either drag and drop. But that would be too hectic to go with.

So was looking for some way where I can use Regular expression to group the metrics into one node or graph for future use and analysis.

Please help. Let me know if you need more elaboration.

Regards,
Vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,

As of now grouping metrics is not an option in custom dashboard given that the tier/app level metrics for indivual EMS queues at node level is not available.

However i have suggestion here, as we support wild card in rest api see if you can manipulate rest api data response and report back as custom metric data helps here?

https://www.appdynamics.com/community/exchange/extension/java-sdk-for-controller-rest-api

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO41/Use+the+AppDynamics+REST+API (Navigate to metric browser and select "copy rest url" on one of the target metric at same metric folder structure and then past the URL in another tab and change common segment or string in rest URL with asterisk and you will response of each queue and you could this response as custom metric)

As a suggestion, if you can take this as an input to the AppD Dev Team and make this feature available in next releases of Appdynamics.

Because being an Application Analyst, playing with metrics and extracting it in custom way is on high demand.
