Then if such a bizevent field is displayed without further conversion, values such as "200.0", or "400.0" look strange at least to me.<BR /><BR /></P><P>If you create a metric using OpenPipeline and add this HTTP status (double type) as a dimension, you will still have dimensions with a point.</P><P>If you convert the double HTTP status using toLong() function and add such a dimension to a metric, it will never show up as a field in the legend.<BR /><BR />The only workaround I was able to do is to convert it to long and then to string. Such string value can be then used as a dimension for splitting and successfully shows in the Legend.</P><P><BR />So - my 2 questions</P><UL><LI>In what universe is HTTP status a double type so that OneAgent bizevent capture stores it as double?
