Specifically, Tomcat Busy Threads. I would like to get the current cumulative total of the busy threads of all the agents. </P><BR /> Thu, 28 Feb 2019 18:43:41 GMT andrew_lavesper 2019-02-28T18:43:41Z Custom metric - Sum of metric from all agents https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Custom-metric-Sum-of-metric-from-all-agents/m-p/114750#M9678 <P>I would like to get the sum of a metric as a single number from all agents.

Use the API to pull back the ThreadsBusy metric for all relevent process Group Instances, sum across these values.</P><BR /> Thu, 28 Feb 2019 18:59:54 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Custom-metric-Sum-of-metric-from-all-agents/m-p/114751#M9679 Joe_Hoffman 2019-02-28T18:59:54Z Re: Custom metric - Sum of metric from all agents https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Custom-metric-Sum-of-metric-from-all-agents/m-p/114752#M9680 <P>As a newbie, could you explain the steps required to do something like this? Is it possible to configure this from the console?</P><BR /> Thu, 28 Feb 2019 19:10:36 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Custom-metric-Sum-of-metric-from-all-agents/m-p/114752#M9680 andrew_lavesper 2019-02-28T19:10:36Z Re: Custom metric - Sum of metric from all agents https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Custom-metric-Sum-of-metric-from-all-agents/m-p/114753#M9681 <P>This cannot be done from the GUI. You would need to write some code to call the Dynatrace API to pull back the metrics. Full doc on the API is available, including lots of examples: <A href="https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/dynatrace-api/">https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dyna...</A></P><BR /> Thu, 28 Feb 2019 19:46:35 GMT https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Open-Q-A/Custom-metric-Sum-of-metric-from-all-agents/m-p/114753#M9681 Joe_Hoffman 2019-02-28T19:46:35Z
