topic Displaying metrics in different format on a dashboard in Dashboarding https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dashboarding/Displaying-metrics-in-different-format-on-a-dashboard/m-p/302914#M5867 <P>I'm in the process of converting a grafana dashboard to a Dynatrace equivalent and have run up against a number formatting issue.<BR /><BR />I have a monitor that produces replication LSN metrics on a Prometheus endpoint. It is being scraped into Dynatrace which is storing the metric as a double type.<BR /><BR />I want to display a timeline graph so it will show the steps in LSN. I normally see this as HEX values in Grafana.<BR /><BR />Is there a way to do the number to hex string conversion on the metric when it is displayed on the Dynatrace dashboard?<BR /><BR /></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 14:24:28 GMT dougwillis 2026-08-06T14:24:28Z Displaying metrics in different format on a dashboard https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Dashboarding/Displaying-metrics-in-different-format-on-a-dashboard/m-p/302914#M5867 <P>I'm in the process of converting a grafana dashboard to a Dynatrace equivalent and have run up against a number formatting issue.<BR /><BR />I have a monitor that produces replication LSN metrics on a Prometheus endpoint.
