Use Wildcards in Metric Definitions
Related Pages:
In a Custom Dashboard widget or Health Rule, you can use a wildcard to specify a metric that evaluates across several entities, such as multiple hardware entities or memory pools.
The wildcard feature is supported for metrics in the Hardware Resources, JVM, and CLR branches of the metric hierarchy, and custom metrics that are created with a monitoring extension as described in Extensions and Custom Metrics.
To use wildcards:
- Define the relative metric path to the metric that you want to display. This involves getting the full metric path in the Metric Browser and then trimming it.
- Modify the relative metric path to apply to multiple entities.
- Paste the modified relative path in the metric selector for the widget or health rule that you are configuring.
