Splunk IT Service Intelligence: Can I show a KPI for a specific entity in an ITSI Glass Table?

[wcooper003]

I have a Service with a limited number of entities, and I want to show the KPI for a specific entity in a glass table. When I drag a KPI onto the glass table that has entities included, I don't see an option to show the values for a single entity. Is this possible?

Or should I not use Split by Entities, and just define KPIs for individual entities?

Thanks

No but what you can do is create a service for each entity and use those instead.

In the swim lanes you can make it show up to three hosts by the way.

Ok thanks that's what I figured thanks.

What would the performance impact of this be? I'd like to do the same thing, and assumed it was not possible. In one of our services, we have 765 entities and I worry that creating 765 services with one entity and assigning KPIs against all of these services would overwhelm our environment.
