Get builtin:osservice.availability metrics filtered by os:service tags

I have os:service entities tagged with an Uptime tag - I want to get availability metrics only for those services via API.

Here is my current metric selector that does not consider tags. It works in API v2:
(builtin:osservice.availability:filter(prefix("dt.entity.os:service",CUSTOM_DEVICE-)):filter(or(eq("dt.osservice.status",running),eq("dt.osservice.status",active))):sum:auto:sort(value(sum,descending)):splitBy("dt.entity.host","dt.entity.os:service")/builtin:osservice.availability:filter(prefix("dt.entity.os:service",CUSTOM_DEVICE-)):sum:auto:sort(value(sum, descending)):splitBy("dt.entity.host","dt.entity.os:service")*100):setUnit(Percent):sort(dimension("dt.entity.host",ascending),dimension("dt.entity.os:service",ascending))

How can I edit it to filter by specific tags?

That's what I have tried so far:

In DT API Swagger page I can specify EntitySelector:

type(os:service),tag(Uptime)

, which suppose to do it, but I'm getting this error:
"Entity type mismatch: the entity selector matches type `os:service`, but no primary entity dimension in the given metric selector has such type. Possible primary entity types: [`HOST`]. Alternatively, use an embedded entity selector. For example, `yourMetricKey:filter(in(dt.entity.disk, entitySelector(\"...\"))`."

I followed the advice and tried to use embedded entitySelector :
filter(in("dt.entity.os:service",entitySelector(type("os:service"),tag(Uptime)))

And now here is the result:

"Metric selector parse error: expected one argument for `entitySelector`"

Any idea how can I grab this metric only for tagged os:service entities?

Thanks,

Oleg

Hi Oleg,

Have you tried to filter by OS Service - Tag?

Or you've tried but you receive any error to add this filter to the rest of filters you need to your metric?

Regards,

Elena.

You need to escape the quotes for the selector to work, try it like this

builtin:osservice.availability :filter( in("dt.entity.os:service",entitySelector("type(os:service),tag(Uptime)")) ) :splitBy("dt.entity.os:service"):sort(value(auto,descending))
