There’s a new kind of data source available for widgets in the UMP Dashboard portlet – Metric! A Metric data source allows widgets to display the current performance data being monitored on a system. A Metric data source may be used with all widget types except tables and pie charts.
You define a Metric data source from the Data Sources tab:
From here, a hierarchical tree structure displays systems that have metrics available, grouped under either the Groups node (as defined in Unified Service Manager) or the Other node. Just keep expanding nodes until you find the system you want.
Once you select the system name, you can drill down to the specific metrics available. Select the desired metric, and drag it onto your widget. When you go to Live view, you’ll see the performance data.
