Can metrics have enum values?

AntonioSousa — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 00:01:26 GMT

In Dynatrace, metric values can have multiple types, but it seems that it's lacking two very basic types:

Boolean
Enum

Is there any possibility of having something like a 0 translate into False, or 1 into True, for instance? Or more generically, an Enum set?

@henk_stobbe,

Thanks for your reply. My use-case is a little different. I have a boolean expressed as 0/1, but would like to see, in Data Explorer for instance, FALSE/TRUE... And the enum case is similar.
