Creating chart from log analysis

[david_gao04]

I created a sample Spring boot application that logs the elapsed time of a method call. I can view and query the log to get the metric. How can I put the elapsed time into a chart for the dashboard? Thanks.

I don't think it's possible right know. Values from log analytics are generally available for alerts, not for charting

Thanks for the answer Sebastian, appreciate your quick response

It is not possible via log files currently.

However, if that method is of particular interest to you, you could create a custom service for it.

Hi David,

is the process writing this log monitored by the Dynatrace OneAgent? If yes, you should be able to chart the response time of the method via service custom metric.

Extracting this metric out of a log is on our long term roadmap.
