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 drop-down 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, you can sort the comparison table by column header. In addition, you can also obtain specific data that you want to view.
-
Specify the content on the table with the drop-down labeled Table content. For example, select Hosts.
-
Select to view the metric from the dropdown menu.
-
Select the hosts from the table whose CPU usage you want to view.
A real-time graph appears over the table displaying the CPU usage for your selected hosts. To compare the current host with another one, select a different host from the table, and it appears on the graph. You can toggle in and out to compare any number of hosts.
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.
