Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to extract properties from a host and add it in a dashboard, data such as CPU Cores, Total Memory, and Total SWAP.

I do not want to know the average or the use of them, it would be to know the total of the machine.

Thanks to all, greetings

Hello&nbsp;[@adriangomez](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/47742)

Dashboards base on metrics and their dimensions. As far as I know it is impossible to extract the properties and add them to a dashboard.

Best Regards,

Mateusz

Hi&nbsp;[@adriangomez](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/47742),

Two of them are available metrics.

| builtin:host.mem.swap.total | Swap totalAmount of total swap for use | Byte |

| builtin:host.mem.total | Memory totalAmount of total memory | Byte |

I hope it helps. Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Mizső
