Creating metrics

You can create your own specific device performance metric definitions that you want Telco Network Cloud Manager - Performance to poll and collect.

Procedure

  1. Create the metric file as follows:
    For example, to create a metric file by name, icmp-out-dest-unreached.metric:
    
       name=icmp.out.dest.unreached
       description="The number of ICMP destination unreachable message sent
       aliases=[]
       properties={
         resource.type=device
       }
    
  2. Save the file in /<my_project>/<my_pack>/metrics/<group> folder.

    Arrange the metric formulas in vendor-specific directories to avoid conflicts.

    Note: All the metrics must have the file extension as .metric.

What to do next

Validate the content to make sure there are no error in the formulas.
