Configuring metadata for script outputs

You can assign units to script outputs and configure them as key performance indicator (KPI).

To define the parameters settings, have the following line as the first or second line in the script output section:

<parameters>AttributeName1,kpi:true,units:seconds|AttributeName2,units:%|AttributeName3,kpi:false</parameters>

Here,

  • The pipe character ('|') is used to separate multiple attributes.
  • Comma (',') is used to separate different settings of an attribute.
  • Colon (':') is used to separate metadata name and value. 

The pipe character ('|'), Comma (',') and Colon (':') can not be used for units.


For example, 

<metadata>I2D=true</metadata>
<parameters>ResponseTime,kpi:true,units:seconds|ProcessingTime,kpi:true,units:ms</parameters>
WebServer=finance.domain.com/10.10.10.11*FinanceApp,ResponseTime=2,ResponseCode=200,LoginUsers=10,ProcessingTime=20
WebServer=callCenter.domain.com/10.10.10.12*CallCenterApp,ResponseTime=3,ResponseCode=200,LoginUsers=20,ProcessingTime=20

In this example, the ResponseTime and ProcessingTime attributes are defined as KPI parameters with units as seconds and ms.

Note

If you change the metadata of an attribute while the monitoring is happening, the PATROL Agent is reinitialized.
