Dynamic Metrics Analysis
As a tenant administrator, editor, or viewer, you can use the Dynamic Metrics Analysis dashboard to view the number of open events and various metrics of multiple servers and devices from BMC Helix Operations Management. This information helps you to view the performance of different devices and their metrics. For instance, this dashboard can gather data from servers such as Windows, Linux, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, and so on. This dashboard adds a new panel for each metric added from the filters.
The dashboard uses the BMC Helix data source and the Metric and Events query types.
