The colon, if any, in the metric path is translated into a pipe. Only one segment is allowed between pipes. The colons and pipes can be used interchangeably.

For example:

The colon in the metric path, Application Infrastructure Performance|ECommerce Server|JVM|Memory:Heap|Committed (MB) is translated to Application Infrastructure Performance|ECommerce Server|JVM|Memory|Heap|Committed (MB).

For the relative metric path, to get metrics for both heap committed and non-heap committed, specify JVM|Memory|*|Committed (MB). Do not specify JVM|*|Committed (MB).
