The Metric Search capability enables you to quickly find and understand metrics and their purpose within the platform.

This enables you to:

  • Simplify metric discovery across Pulse.

  • Enhance dashboard creation and visualization accuracy.
  • Improve efficiency in monitoring and troubleshooting workflows.

Before You Begin

To use Metric Search in Pulse, ensure that the Metric Search add-on service is deployed in your Pulse environment. For details, see Deploy Metric Search Add-on Service.

Once deployed, you can access Metric Search directly from the Pulse UI.

  1. In the Pulse UI, go to Alerts > Alerts.
  2. On the Alerts page, click View Docs.
  3. On the Documentation page, enter any keyword in the Metric Search bar to view the metric’s purpose and details within Pulse.

This feature helps you discover, understand, and interpret metrics quickly, improving your ability to troubleshoot and optimize system performance.

Using Metric Search in Dashplot Studio

The Metric Search capability also enhances the experience in Dashplot Studio by providing helpful descriptions when selecting metrics for visualizations.

This context helps ensure you select the right metric and build accurate, meaningful visualizations.
