Hi,
I have questions / issues regarding times series query type in latest OEM App for Grafana (4.0.1).
- Is it possible to alter the name of the returned fields (measurements)? They seem to be built like
<Alias by><Target Name><Metric KEY_VALUE>[_<Metric KEY_VALUE2>__<Metric KEY_VALUE3>…]. If <Alias by> is cleared <Target Name> is automatically filled in instead which makes it even worse: <Target Name><Target Name><Metric KEY_VALUE>[_<Metric KEY_VALUE2>__<Metric KEY_VALUE3>…]. I don't even want a single <Target Name> in field name as target name is usually set by dropdown, therefore it's superfluous here. The names are just unnecessarily long and hard to read.
- You can clear <Alias by> value for the query but upon editing it again it's automatically filled to the default of
${oem_gf_metricgroup}_${oem_gf_metric} which makes it a nuisance to clear it every time. And like mentioned above even when cleared it still changes field name by additional <Target Name>.
- In general key values of metrics should be exposed as separate dimensions in Grafana allowing proper data analysis and presentation. Flattening them out by concatenating their values to a single named field is a shortcoming.
Best regards,
Piotr
