Editing the view definition

From the Views page, after you create a custom view, you can update the view EQL definition. Note that if you change the definition, you could affect components that are using the view, as well as other views that may use attributes from this view.

To edit a view definition:

  1. From Configuration Options, click Project Settings, then navigate to the Data Views page.
  2. In the view list, click the view.
  3. Click Edit Definition.
  4. On the Edit View Definition dialog, update the view definition.

    For details on the rules for setting a view definition, see Guidelines for using EQL to define a view.

  5. To validate the new definition, click Validate.

    If the definition is invalid, then Studio displays error messages to help you troubleshoot the definition.

  6. To save the new definition, click Save.

    If the view definition is valid, then the attribute and metrics lists are updated to reflect the new definition.

    If the view definition is not valid, then you are prompted to confirm that you want to save an invalid view. If you save the view, it is flagged as invalid and cannot be published.
