Value Metrics

Guys, can you please give me some guidance on the case below?

 

I created a plugin that does a file check. Apparently everything is working fine, with the exception of the count metric, which is not returning as desired within Dynatrace.

 

Looking at the log, the metric is right, bringing the correct value, however, inside Dynatrace it returns as 0 or 1

I am not able to identify where the problem is.

Could you support me?

Hi, go with device.absolute(key='var_cmd_output', value=var_cmd_output) instead of device.relative(key='var_cmd_output', value=var_cmd_output)

You've not said that it's a group metric so it gets added to the device, and the relative metric shows you the difference in the number of files between this poll and the previous one (but never less than 0).

Mike

Sorry @Mike_L  , I don't think I understand what you mean

What I want is the following:

As I understand your question:

You send the value 15 to Dynatrace (you know this by logging it), the next minute you send the value 16 to Dynatrace (again, you know this by looking at the logs), but Dynatrace shows the value 1 instead of 16. This is because you're sending relative metrics to Dynatrace instead of absolute metrics as can be seen in your code. When you send relative metrics the plugin module checks what the delta is from the previous poll, and if it is 0 or more, it sends that value to Dynatrace.
