Backend Detection - http endpoints with custom name for the dashboards

[venkatsm]

I have several HTTP endpoints, and all connections go to single "cloud" of HTTP endpoints. Instead of the single cloud image/name as "# HTTP Backends", I would like to break those into meaningful names ( eg: auth-http, ABC-http, xyz-http ). I tried out in "Configuration -> Instrumentation -> "Backend Detection" -> Custom HTTP Discovery Rules -> Added Regex matched Http, port and name for the rule. In that, I tried out "backend Naming Configuration" with "use it as is" or Regex options too.

Is there anyway if the pattern matched with the conditions, I would like to call that with some custom name.

Thanks

First, have you tried to right click on the "4 Http Backends" and select ungroup backends?

Once you do that you should be able to see 4 individual backends and yes there is a way to give them custom name based on some match condition.

Following document gives step by step instructions on how you can do this.
