Change of units in metrics

lubrman — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 14:42:06 GMT

As part of Extension 2.0, I am monitoring JMX metrics generated by an application.

One of the metrics has the displayName: DirectBufferPool Memory Used, which is generated in bytes. However, within the extension, I would like to perform a conversion and display the metric in megabytes.

I have tried modifying the unit settings in the documentation, but none of the changes have produced the expected result. Instead, incorrect unit calculations occur. For example, when the base value is 30 million bytes:

Conversion to Megabytes results in 10 TB.
Conversion to Kilobytes results in 30 MB.

You can't change the metric itself since it is retrieved in Bytes

What you can do is change the visualization in dashboards, alerts, etc, anywhere where you can use a metric selector by using the to Unit operation, converting Bytes to something else.
