Metric Groups

About Metric Groups

  • They are created based on span filters.
  • Allow reporting specified metrics for spans matching the group's filter criteria.
  • Provide the ability to push individual or groups of metrics to the Monitoring service for alerting, charting and monitoring purposes.
  • Metrics in the Metric Groups are subject to machine learning based anomaly detection where a new dimension, Anomaly, is added to each of the metrics. The dimension values are:

    1 – higher value anomaly detected

    0 – no anomaly detected

    -1 – lower value anomaly detected.

  • Once the APM domain is created, you can create your own metric groups depending on your reporting needs.
