Limits / Requests per pod

Hello dear Community members.🤠

A simple question. I am not seeing any data when splitting per pod the metic: Kubernetes: Pod - CPU limits (by workload).

I can use the formula from the Pod page with the relevant graphs:

(builtin:kubernetes.workload.requests_cpu:max:splitBy("dt.entity.cloud_application"):sum/builtin:kubernetes.pods:max:filter(eq(pod_phase,Running)):splitBy("dt.entity.cloud_application"):sum):filter(in("dt.entity.cloud_application",entitySelector("type(cloud_application),toRelationship.isInstanceOf(type(CLOUD_APPLICATION_INSTANCE),type(CLOUD_APPLICATION_INSTANCE),entityId(CLOUD_APPLICATION_INSTANCE-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX))"))):setUnit(MilliCores):merge("dt.entity.cloud_application")

But shouldn't it be easier with the metric above? I am just curious if someone has used directly a metric value with no expression when plotting the system metrics per pod on a kubernetes cluster.

We are on Managed so GRAIL metrics are not available. 😎

Thanks!
