Question by James M. · Mar 31, 2015 at 06:28 PM ·

Measure Export

Hi,

For maintenance and audit reasons, I would like to export out a list of custom created measures.

 

Is this possible and how?

    (I tried to export the system profile - which includes this information - however they are located all over the place and by different types and names)

 

Can we get the metadata around the measures also? (create date etc)

 

Also, is it possible to create a dashboard to show this sort of information?

 

Many thanks

Hi James,

As for naming standards, I like using suffixes that start with an underscore and then include a system profile or application name so that I can just type an underscore when using the measure picker.  It might also help with extracting custom measures.

HTH,

dave

Hi James,

alternatively if you have upgraded to Dynatrace 6 (are you still on 5?), you can check the "show only custom measures"  box on the measures screen from the profile.

It will only show the measures created by users. It is very "manual" but can sometimes help. By selecting the relevant lines you can "copy" to the clip board and it will export the xml for you.

The odd measures (agent level-> memory, and browser) will show in this list even if they haven't been created by "real" people.

Thanks

Flo

Thanks David, I got that working.

Makes me think we should of used a naming convention for measures to keep them recognisable

This XSL may help you out.  It creates a csv-style output file and will have "true" as the last field for all user defined measures in the system profile read:

extract_measures.xsl

The command line used:

c:\Tools\msxsl\msxsl.exe -o extract_measures.txt Example.profile.xml extract_measures.xsl

Example output (first is non-custom, second is custom):

".NET Thread Count","The number of threads currently active in this .NET process.",,,,,false

"3P - api.fit-predictor.net","Represents the duration of third party content during a user action.",1000.0,500.0,1000.0,500.0,true

You can sort and filter the output as you wish or modify the xsl to do that for you perhaps

HTH,

dave

Hi James,

At the moment the only thing that can be done is by looking in the profile xml (AFAIK).

You could then write something that parses the xml to retrieve this info and create a report.

It would be a good RFE to display this information OOTB.

KR,
Kristof
