Hiding and showing metrics on the Metrics Bar

You can hide metrics that you do not want to display on the Metrics Bar, and also restore them if needed.

When you first load the EQL query for the Metrics Bar component, a metric box is created for each metric from the query.

However, you may not want to display all of these metrics. For example, some of the metrics may simply be used to generate the metric you actually want to display.

To hide and restore metrics on the Metrics Bar:

  1. To hide a metric, click the x icon in top right corner of the metric box.

    The metric box for that metric is removed.

    If this is the first metric you are hiding, a box is added for the hidden values.

    The metric is added to the Reveal Hidden Metric drop-down list on the hidden metric values box.

  2. To restore a hidden metric, from the Reveal Hidden Metric drop-down list, select the metric to restore.

    The metric is removed from the Reveal Hidden Metric drop-down list, and the metric box is added for that metric.

    If there are no other hidden metrics, then the Reveal Hidden Metric drop-down list is removed.
