Dynatrace Metrics V2 API - Help with Deprecated Call

[louis_gallo]

I am using the V2 metrics API to retrieve common system metrics, in this case swap availability and usage.

type(HOST),tag(MyApplication:MyTag)

builtin:host.mem.swap.(used,avail):names:merge(1)

I need the common ""dt.entity.host.name" name and not the cryptic one. It works fine, but if I peek in the warnings, I see this:

warnings": [
"Usage of index \"1\" is deprecated, please consider converting the query to use the dimension key \"dt.entity.host\" instead"

How do I change my metrics selector to the newer format?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Wait, I think I see it. It is as easy as this? I guess I really should have read the error.

builtin:host.cpu.usage:names:merge(dt.entity.host)

Thanks,
