Custom metric metadata on lastest versions

[g_kat]

Hi,

I'm writing an Extension 2.0 for SQL data sources and I want to give custom metric metadata like display name and unit.

A sample looks like this:

- group: ingestor_metrics
    featureSet: ingestor
    query: >
      SELECT 
        topic_name,
        EXTRACT(epoch FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'utc' - max(commit_timestamp))::float AS last_inserted_at
      FROM
        statement_enrichment.ingestion_execution_log c 
      GROUP BY topic_name
    dimensions:
      - key: custom_cosmosdb.postgres.extension.ingestor.topic_name
        value: col:topic_name
    metrics:
      - key: custom_cosmosdb.postgres.extension.ingestor.last_inserted_at
        displayName: Last Inserted
        unit: Seconds
        value: col:last_inserted_at
        type: gauge
        interval:
          minutes: 2​

I have the VSCode add-on and it throws an error that displayName and unit are not allowed. I tried loading an earlier schema (1.253 instead of 1.279 which I'm working now) and it still doesn't allow it.

I tried also to pass them as metadata like this:

  - group: ingestor_metrics
    featureSet: ingestor
    query: >
      SELECT 
        topic_name,
        EXTRACT(epoch FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'utc' - max(commit_timestamp))::float AS last_inserted_at
      FROM
        statement_enrichment.ingestion_execution_log c 
      GROUP BY topic_name
    dimensions:
      - key: custom_cosmosdb.postgres.extension.ingestor.topic_name
        value: col:topic_name
    metrics:
      - key: custom_cosmosdb.postgres.extension.ingestor.last_inserted_at
        value: col:last_inserted_at
        type: gauge
        interval:
          minutes: 2
        metadata:
            displayName: Last Inserted
            unit: Seconds

and I'm getting the error that metadata is not allowed.

Am I missing something?

Hi,

Put this in the root of the YAML instead of under the sql section:

metrics:
  - key: custom_costmosdb.postgres.extension.ingestor.last_inserted_at
    metadata:
      tags:
        - myTag
      displayName: Last Inserted
      unit: Seconds
