Configure metric charts for Agent Workspace
Configure the set of Metric Intelligence metric charts, chart types, and other chart characteristics, that appear in Agent Workspace.
Before you begin
Role required: admin or evt_mgmt_admin
About this task
Up to 10 metric charts for a class can be configured to appear in the Metric Intelligence metric charts form in Agent Workspace. Metric chart configurations are stored in the Metric Dashboard Metadata [sa_metric_dashboard_metadata] table, determining which metric charts appear for a CI that is associated with an alert. By default, the Metric Dashboard Metadata contains pre-configured metric charts for several classes.
If resource binding is enabled and you specify a Resource Type in the metric chart configuration, then all the resources for the CI are included in the chart. The class table for the resource class (such as ci_resource_metric_extension) that you specify is used for retrieving all the resources for the CI. Then, for each point in time in the data series, the values of resources are aggregated into a single data point. This data point is the average of the metric values of all resources for that point of time.
| Chart type | Resources | Aggregation |
|---|---|---|
| Time_Series | No | No aggregation |
| Time_Series | Yes | Resources are averaged per data point. |
| Single_Score | No | Data points are aggregated according to the Chart Aggregate setting. |
| Single_Score | Yes | Resources are averaged per data point and then data points are aggregated according to the Chart Aggregate setting. |
Procedure
-
Navigate to All > Event Management > Administration > Metrics View Configuration.
-
In the Metric Dashboard Metadatas (Dashboard Metadata) list view, select an existing configuration or click New.
-
Fill out the Metric Dashboard Metadata form.

Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Active |
Include the chart on the Metric Intelligence charts form in Agent Workspace. |
|
Resource Type |
Resource class associated with the CI and for which to retrieve and aggregate all resources. |
|
Configuration Item Type |
CI class that the chart applies to such as cmdb_ci_metric_extension. |
|
Chart Aggregate |
Type of aggregation that is applied for single-score charts. Aggregation can be the average of the data points in the time series. Or, the minimum, maximum, or the last data point in the time series. |
|
Source Metric Type |
Metric such as '% Free Space' that is being monitored for the CI type. |
|
Order |
Order in which the metric chart appears within all metric charts specified for the class. For proper appearance and alignment, all single-score charts always appear after any time-series charts, regardless of order settings. |
