Why are measure specific attributes are disabled while creating new measure for UNIX monitoring ?
I am doing UNIX monitoring.
I have installed collector at Linux system, and my application which I am monitoring is also installed on same system. So while configuring Unix Monitor, I have selected "Local" as Method value.
I want to monitor my application specific processes, so I tried to create new measures for my processes.
But while creating measures, I am not able to give measures specific attributes.
Is there any other setting I need to do in order to enable those attributes ?
I could see measures specific attributes while monitoring Windows system.
Here with I have attached snapshot of one of the measure.
Swanand,
What particular measures and measure attributes are you concerned with?

I want to measure CPU Usage, I/O usage and memory usage for my specific application running on Linux machine.
During Windows Monitoring, I could set attributes like counter Name, instance Name(Specific application which I am going to monitor) and object Name.
Please refer attachment CoreServerWindowsMonitoring.jpg
Like that I want to measure during Linux monitoring but I am not able to give values as that option is disabled.
Swanand,
You can limit the measure to particular agent groups in the details tab, and when you chart the measure, you can select one or more specific agents.
The only real limitation this produces is that you have to set alert thresholds to the same value on all agents in a group (if alerting is a concern).
The difference in functionality is because on Windows, Dynatrace can take advantage of the system-wide WMI (or perfmon) mechanism, which is not available on Unix. If you are monitoring Java processes, you may be able to take advantage of a custom JMX measure.

Is there any other way to define measure for specific application in UNIX monitoring inside Dynatrace?
