can I report off metrics from two different information points - e.g. difference, avg, min/ max diff

[CommunityUser]

I am trying to understand the scope/ level of analytics/ reporting I can do with AppDynamics Information points. I have two different information points and associated metrics. I want to report the difference between the metrics captured in these information points - avg/ min/ max/ median difference etc...Is it possible to do this? If yes, how would I go about doing it?

Hi,

We understood that you have defined two information points and now you want to report the the difference of values for metrics (avg, calls, max etc) associated with the metrics between two information discovered , if this is the case, let us know if the following suggestions helps:

- Copy the rest URL from Analyze -> metric browser -> Information Points -> Expand and navigate to target metric under particular information point , refer sample screenshot below 

- Now build a script such that it retrieves REST API metric for both the metrics under infromation point from rest URL and manipulate the rest api metric value for both information points and get the difference of values for each target metric and report back as custom metric in controller UI or target result format/file , refer below docs related to rest api and building custom metrics and reporting using machine agent :
