Use the available metric to monitor a database statement and add to dashboard

[Greeshma]

Hi Team,

We would like to get the request count of a specific database statement (with or without splitting database) from the data explorer so that we can monitor this in the dashboard. 
I tried passing the query as "dt.entity.service_method",entitySelector("type(service_method),entityName.in(~"MY QUERY~")" in the data explorer but was of no luck. Can you please guide me on how this can be achieved or is it even possible to monitor the metrics of a particular database statement in dynatrace?

Regards,

Hi @Greeshma,

Which metric do you use? 

builtin:service.keyRequest.count.total?

Yes, I tried builtin:service.keyRequest.count.total metric as well as other metrics in which I can filter using the request name.

data explorer provides results when the request name is a web request but not for a sql query
