Creating a new empty view

One option for creating a new view is to create a brand new empty view.

On the View Manager, to add a new view to the selected data source:

  1. On the Views list, click Add.
  2. On the Add View dialog, type the key for the new view.

    The view key must be unique within the data source.

    It also must be NCName-compliant (and include no spaces), as you will be using the key in the EQL query for the view definition.


    Add View dialog
  3. Click OK.

    A new view is added to the Views list.

    The new view uses the key as the default display name, and has a placeholder EQL query. No attributes or metrics are defined.

  4. Configure the new view display name, description, definition, attributes, and metrics.
  5. After configuring the new view, to save it, click Save.
