Monitor Analytics Metrics

For performance reasons, the scheduled queries used in analytics metrics can be disabled as follows:

  • Queries are disabled if calling the Events Service results in any errors for ten consecutive times.
  • Queries are not disabled if the Events Service is not reachable from the controller, such as during maintenance and upgrade windows.
  • When the Controller is restarted, the queries which were previously disabled by the system due to consecutive failures are re-enabled.
  • User-disabled queries remain disabled even after the system is restarted.

To monitor the metric:

  1. Click Metrics in the left navigation bar.
  2. Search, edit, enable, disable, or delete metrics from the Metrics list.
    Warning:

    • You can edit only the description of the selected metric.

    • You can delete a metric only if the Metric Consumer Count is 0. The Metric Consumer Count represents the total number of services that are utilizing a metric. For example, health rules, dashboards, etc.

  3. To activate or deactivate metrics in a batch, select the corresponding rows in the grid and click the Enable or Disable button in the toolbar. Use Shift+ click or Command + click rows to select multiple rows.
    Warning: If you see a status that says "Disabled due to repetitive failures", you can re-enable it by clicking Enable.
  4. To see the metric in the Metric Browser, click the Metric Browser. For more details, see the section Metric Data Point Details.
Note:

If the metric aggregation times out, your applications may not display the analytics metrics. As an administrator, you can specify the applications for which you want the Controller to retry metric aggregation.

  1. Log in to the Administrator console.

    http:<controller-hostname>:<controller-port>/controller/admin.js
  2. In Controller Settings, search for the appdynamics.controller.apps.metric.refill.enabled.list flag.
  3. Add the EUM App Keys of the applications in the comma-separated format.If the metric aggregation times out, the Controller retries the metric aggregation only on the applications that are specified in this Controller Configuration flag.
