Widget properties vary to some extent based on the type of the widget.

Most of the widget properties in the configuration forms are self-explanatory. This list describes some of the less obvious properties:

• Metric Display Name: You can choose the display name for the metrics in a widget. Specify one or more of the following substitution variables to determine the metric display name:
  • ${#}: Number the displayed metrics based on sorting with the rollup value
  • ${m}: Metric name
  • ${e}: Entity name

For example, if specify ${m}, the widget displays the full metric name.

• Static Thresholds: You can create static threshold with a specific value for graph widgets. The threshold appears as a line on the graph.
• Double click action: Some widgets have an option to define the result of double-clicking the widget. You can configure the double click action to open the Metric Browser or a URL specified by the Drilldown URL value.
• Drilldown URL: The Drilldown URL specifies the URL of a Splunk AppDynamics panel you want the widget to open when you double-click the widget. For example, if you see an increase in slow requests and want to investigate the cause, you may want to jump to the App Servers List of all tiers from your dashboard by double-clicking a widget. To get the URL for a specific panel, click Settings > Copy a link to this screen to the clipboard.
• Time Range: Widgets can use the global or dashboard time range or a time range that is specific to the widget. If you choose a widget-specific time range, select the widget time range from the pulldown menu.
• Events Overlay: You can configure specific events to overlay on the graph widget to show how specific events may correlate with performance. Check the Show Events checkbox and create the query to define which events should be overlaid.
