Metric Ingestion - tuple of response time values

[y_buccellato]

Good afternoon,

regarding ingesting custom metrics, I'm evaluating best options on how to ingest the data.
In the specific case I'm recording different response time values for a single click and I'd like to have it in a single metric.

The metric should record 3 types of Response Time:

a. Overall Duration

b. System B Duration

c.  System C Duration

a = b+c

Is there a way to send this data as a single metric and then split by (dimension) a, b or c so I can have a final result similar to this?

Or should I push a different metric for each of the values?

Regards

Hey Buccellato,

You can ingest all the data points on a single metric key and split by a common dimension as seen below.

If you are only ingesting system b and c and want to do the calculation in Dynatrace that would look something like this.

Hope this helps!

Good morning @Fin_Ubels ! Thank you for replying 🙂

What is less clear from my point of view is the following.
Here collect mechanism will collect in one go the a,b,c values and push it to Dynatrace:

Those three values should be in three different metrics or can I create a single metric which then can be split by the values? (a little bit like when you have a Synthetic Total Duration but then you can split the total duration by each event contributing)

If I understand your example correctly I can create a metric:
response.time.overall.duration(which is the tota rt a), dim1=b(which is the partial rt from b) dim2=c(which is the partial rt from c)  19070
