Hello We need look   **Service CPU Usage %** on dashboard It metric available on  **Detailed CPU consumption** page ![MAkimov_0-1618847101571.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/5/5265f9022cdee31214b1655bb0dee84e1a14b6a2.png) **How I can add it to Custom chart ?** ---

Hi [@MAkimov](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/33639) You can filter the metric builtin:host.cpu.system with host you are looking for and then pin it to the dashboard ![Yosi_Neuman_1-1618848993510.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/8/8bce7abe29caf4d72612cb079840040fd02a4907.png) HTH Yos ---

Hello [@Yosi\_Neuman](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/6931) I do not need  **host.cpu.system !** I need **service CPU usage %** Metric which you can see on my screen for  **Detailed CPU consumption** Fot example for **easyTravell Customer frontend** ![MAkimov_0-1618899841595.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/c/c4d948276abade82120e4cc9306797ec77f318fc.png) ---

Hi [@MAkimov](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/33639)  You can use one of these? ![andre_vdveen_0-1618905798981.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/1X/a14b9fbd65e4e9be54fed4f9c05abde8d4f97314.png) ---

Hello [@andre\_vdveen](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/11931) It is CPU time. We understand it metric But we want have metric  **service CPU usage %** on dashboard see my screen ![MAkimov_0-1618907119650.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/e/e99555f0baccde569c6469057dc0e411eef81d6a.png) ---

Not sure if it helps, but your screenshot has Processes CPU Consumption, not Services. Processes CPU consumption (and other metrics per Process) can be found under Technologies \> Generic \> CPU (or just put builtin:tech.generic.cpu.usage im Metric field) ---

[@MAkimov](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/33639) There isn’t a way to target the CPU consumption of a Service as a dashboard Tile/Chart. You can tile/Chart the next level down which would be done by marking things as Key Requests. Keep in mind, marking key requests are always forward facing. I would recommend putting in a RFE as the functionality that you are looking for does not exist in the product as of today from a dashboard view point. As a work around, you can use a mark down tile and drop a link to the page that you want to access. But even then it wont show you values on the dashboard, rather just quick and easy access to the page. ---

The Screen shot that was provided does indeed show the services. The view point is looking at a specific process, and the services running on that process. If the User were to click on ‘easytravel customer frontend’ that would transport them to the selected service. ---

[@MAkimov](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/33639) [@ChadTurner](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/14877)  As mentioned above is the feature of detecting “CPU consumption of a Service as a dashboard Tile/Chart” added ? Please let me know if there is a way of doing this. ---

Hi @@lex-mascarenha, Maybe you can try this metric expression. Maybe it is a completly worng way of thinking. Try it. (builtin:tech.generic.cpu.usage:filter(and(or(in(“dt.entity.process\_group\_instance”,entitySelector(“type(process\_group\_instance),entityName.equals(~“YOUR PG INSTANCE NAME~”)”))))):splitBy():avg) \*(100\*(builtin:service.cpu.time:filter(and(or(in(“dt.entity.service”,entitySelector(“type(service),entityName.contains(~“YOUR SERVICE NAME~”)”))))):splitBy():avg) /builtin:tech.generic.cpu.groupTotalTime:filter(and(or(in(“dt.entity.process\_group”,entitySelector(“type(process\_group),entityName.equals(~“YOUR PG NAME~”)”))))):splitBy():avg) /100 Last column is the above mentioned metric expression: 3rd column came from the first two with a % calculation, then I counted the 10,2% of the 21,59% which is the fifth column. ![Mizs_0-1678309053293.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/5/0/50c3ca5a928ebcd4e9d045320ba894d583fa2018.png) The above calculated process CPU detailed breakdown with the test service below. I know that 2,68 % is not 2,2% but it is quite close. I have tested it with randomly and the results are really quite close the CPU detailed breakdown values: ![Mizs_1-1678309330211.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/7/7a83b8bf10611a674d3dc72f4c182b0c06c4c0e8.png) I hope it helps.

Hi [@Mizső](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/47783) Also thought about utilizing _builtin:tech.generic.cpu.usage_ metric but [@MAkimov](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/33639) asked to see the CPU% per service while this metric is showing the process CPU% and one process can run more then one service hence IMO its good answer but not for [@MAkimov](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/33639) request 🤔.

Hi [@Yosi\_Neuman](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/6931), I felt that my solution maybe not correct.  I guess the checked services’s CPU consumtion on my side in the CPU profiling were accidentally close to my calclulation. Thanks for the correction. Best regards, Mizső
