https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dashboarding/Limitation-of-max-5-metrics-in-new-dashboards/m-p/248954#M4060 <P>I have 6 custom metrics which I'm extracting from logfiles. I need to visualise all 6 of these metrics separately, but, I also need to be able to perform some calculations against them for some charts. I can do this in Data Explorer, and I can create a chart inside Classic Dashboards which displays what I want it to.</P> <P>However, I cannot do the same in the new Dashboard view, the error returned is quite clear:</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <LI-CODE lang="markup">"errorType": "TOO_MANY_METRIC_KEYS_IN_TIMESERIES", "errorMessage": "You can only use up to 5 different metric keys."</LI-CODE> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>1) Is that a 5 a hard limit or can it be raised? Will it increase in the future?</P> <P>2) Can I work around this via a better method? I could perhaps extract a new metric from the logs which contains all the pattern matching of each of the 6 metrics, but that feels silly. Duplication of work, plus, if the logs ever change I'd have to update both spots.</P> <P>3) Can I create a new custom metric, based off of my 6 custom metrics? That way I could just use that single metric in my chart/dashboards.</P> <P>Cheers,<BR />Mario</P> Mon, 24 Jun 2024 07:22:43 GMT mario_rwwa 2024-06-24T07:22:43Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dashboarding/Limitation-of-max-5-metrics-in-new-dashboards/m-p/248954#M4060 <P>I have 6 custom metrics which I'm extracting from logfiles.
