Hi Team

I am trying to load a custom metrics onto the dashboard & it wouldnt load any data.

The custom metrics is from MQ monitoring extension which we have installed for 3 servers & the metrics populates fine in the metric browser but when added into a widget on a dashboard - does not load.

I have attached the screenshots.

Kindly suggest on how to get this fixed.

Controller - 4.3.8 version

Anjana

A colleague let me know that they ran into the same issue and resolved it by removing the first two segments of the custom path.

Can you also try that and report your results?

Thanks,

update for this case:

specify the server want to collect, in my example is dc-tdi-redis02

here is full path

Application Infrastructure Performance|Root|Individual Nodes|dc-tdi-redis02|Custom Metrics|Redis|dc-tdi-redis02|Clients|blocked_clients

when i try select from Hardware resouces, it will show: Hardware Resources|CPU|%Busy

so let remove "Application Infrastructure Performance|Root|Individual Nodes|dc-tdi-redis02|",

it will work now

Hi Anjana,

I suspect that the problem relates to the metric path.

In the Custom Dashboard, I suspect that you need to specify the "Custom" category, and specify the metric path as "Application Infrastructure Performance|<Tier>|Custom Metrics|...".

The screenshot shows the metric path specified in "Servers", with "Root", which I'm pretty sure doesn't match the path to this custom metric in the Metric Browser.

Hi Brian

I copied the path from metric browser itself - see attached.

I provided this link in the "Specify a Relative Metric Path:" option.

My advice to try the "Custom" metric category (rather than "Servers") remains unchanged.

Hi Brian

Thank you for your reply.

The first solution doesnt work because the custom metric is not for any application but an individual server which has machine agent(with an extension) & just reporting to the account. So i have to use server option since the agent is not part of any application.

Second one - worked but is not very consistent on dashboard & doesnt show any result at all.But before you save, it displays the metrics. I am not sure if we can consistently show case anything from custom metrics.

Hi @Anonymous

Have you tried removing Application Infrastructure Performance|Root| from the metric path?  Copying the path from the Metric browser and pasting it in the widget will have this extra data. 

Let us know how it goes.
