See the metric but no data in custom metric ingestion

Hi everybody

I want to ingest data for a custom metric (msgqueue-depth) using the Rest-API.

Therefore I'm successfully run the following payload:

xyz.Queuesize.Qname, type=queue,msgq=1 110

When I open the data explorer I see that the custom metric has been created, but I don't see any data.

My idea was that it must have something to do with the created timestamp of the datapoint. Thats why I changed it by adding a timestamp in milliseconds:

xyz.Queuesize.Qname, type=queue,msgq=1 110 171049358800 (--> 3/15/2024 9:06:28 AM)

The reuest has been accepted as well, but I'm still not able to see the datapoint.

Thanks a lot in advance!

What's the response of your ingest API request? Do you get a HTTP200 back every time?

It turned out that there were no more DDU's available.

Would be cool to mention the "Metric Dimension Usage & Rejections" Dashboard also in the API-Docs. It helped me a lot.

Luckily you've identified the issue.
DDU information is able to be investigated whilst charting.
For the other one I suggest requesting an RFE!
