Process Group Name

[errolclements]

I am trying to put together a notebook to see network load by process, I am only seeing an option for seeing the process group and it is only giving it by ID. I would like to see the actual process group entity name on my chart but my lookup fails to provide it, and there is no name option for process group as a by: process option as where host.name exists for the same purpose for looking at your hosts without needing to use a lookup. Can any help me out.

Thanks!

Hi @errolclements 

Is this the query you are looking for?

timeseries {trafficIn=avg(dt.process.network.traffic.traffic_in),trafficOut=avg(dt.process.network.traffic.traffic_out)},
  by: {dt.entity.process_group}
| fieldsAdd pgname = lookup([fetch dt.entity.process_group], lookupField:id, sourceField:dt.entity.process_group)[entity.name]

You can try it out in the Discover Dynatrace environment. 

Best,
Sini

Hi Sinisa

I am trying to use this query in DQL in my notepad but its not giving me any out output, I have multiple hosts in our environment. Any clue or suggestion please. 

Thanks

Fantastic that worked!

Hi,

In DQL the entityName() function will convert an entityId to its displayName in the results. Try

entityName(dt.entity.process_group)

Hi Nick

I understand what you mean however even if I am try to break the query to run the below, I get no output.

timeseries {trafficIn=avg(dt.process.network.traffic.traffic_in),trafficOut=avg(dt.process.network.traffic.traffic_out)}, by: {dt.entity.process_group}
