Hi
Use case :
i have a server "host1" id DT "HOST-XXXXXXXXX1",
the server "host1" have Tags :
datacenter:DC1
environment:DEV
and some others sourced by extension
I send the metric affected on it
custom.mymetric,dt.entity.host=HOST-XXXXXXXXX1,hostname=host1 100
in a dashboard, I can add a table, and select dimensions sent (dt.entity.host,hostname)
but I can't add Tags of this server in the table
How can I add Tags to a dashboard without sending them in ingestion of metrics, to avoid overloading the network, and exploit fully the Tagging system
thanks
Hi There,
As far as I can tell, you can't add the tag values on a dashboard as that's not available as a dimension on metrics. You can only use the tag(s) to filter within Dynatrace. Although it's not for dashboard, you could always export the detailed host information via our API which will include tags and many other information.
Thanks,
Imran
Hi Imran,
Do you know if it's an improvment planned in Dynatrace ?
we add a lot of information in Tags make sense to exploit it in Dashboard
