A lot of the widgets are edited through the GUI with the objects and metrics we want displayed, but some require a metric configuration file to define what metrics the widget should display.
Metric configuration files can create a custom set of metrics for the customization of supported widgets with meaningful data.
Metric configuration files store the metric attribute keys in XML format.
These widgets support customization using metric configuration files:
- Scoreboard
- Metric Chart
- Property List
- Rolling View Chart
- Sparkline Chart
- Topology Graph
To keep this simple, we will configure four metrics to be displayed, which are:
- CPU usage for the cluster in %
- CPU demand for the cluster
- Memory ballooning
- CPU usage ...
