Comparison table
The Comparison table makes it easy for you to sort and quickly find the servers and boxes that you would like to look at.
To view the comparison table on the Infrastructure map, select the Comparison table tab.
At the beginning of the screen, you have a dropdown menu, which enables you to display metrics over time for selected hosts. You can select a line in the table by simply clicking it. Click the line again to clear the selection (toggle). This toggle action lets you select multiple relevant hosts.
The Comparison table is a powerful tool for investigating how specific processes match up to others, and locating stressed and bottlenecked components. Like every other dynamic table in Instana, the comparison table can be sorted by column header. Also, you can also get specific with the data you would like to see.
-
Specify the content on the table with the dropdown labeled Table content. As an example, select Services.
-
Select the metric you want to visualize from the dropdown menu on its right. For example, call/s.
-
Select whichever service from the table whose calls you would like visualized.
A real-time graph appears over the table displaying the call/s count for your selected service. To compare the current service with another one, simply select another service from the table, and it appears in the graph as well. Any number of services can be toggled in and out for comparison.
Instana also visualizes multiple metrics for multiple services. To see both call/s and error rates for any currently selected services, go back to the metrics dropdown and click another metric, such as error rate. To reset your comparisons, select Clear Selections in the upper right area of the table.
