Compare Monitoring MetricSets and Troubleshooting MetricSets

Because endpoint-level and service-level Monitoring MetricsSets (MMS) include a subset of Troubleshooting MetricSets (TMS) metrics, you might notice that metric values for a service are different depending on the context in Splunk APM. This is because MMS are the basis of the dashboard view and MMS can only have a kind of SERVER or CONSUMER. In contrast, TMS are the basis of the troubleshooting and Tag Spotlight views and TMS aren't restricted to specific metrics.

For example, values for checkout service metrics displayed in the host dashboard might be different from the metrics displayed in the service map because there are multiple span kind values associated with this service that the MMS that power the dashboard don't monitor.

To compare MMS and TMS directly, restrict your TMS to endpoint-only data by filtering to a specific endpoint. You can also break down the service map by endpoint.
