"Impacted" attribute in metric events with metric selector

[Theodore_x86]

Hello.

I am interested knowing how Dynatrace determines the Impacted entity when a metric selector is used.

I noticed problems with impacted entity the whole environment, meaning that Davis did not understood the exact entity that the problem corresponds to.

Thank you.

The metric event has to be configured with a dimension key to tell it where to find the entity that the event should be associated to.

Once that is done, the Davis Event (and resulting problem) should be associated with the appropriate entity.

Hello.

That was my initial thought as well, however I noticed problems with the dimension key set to Automatic but with proper relation to the monitored entity. In other cases though the related entity was the Environment.

My second guess is that the metric selector exception should have a "split by" dimension defined and not just the "split by()", hence a NULL value inside the parenthesis.

I am not 100% certain though.
