Expression builder query is not honored when a collection is created in ArcGIS Monitor 2023.3.1 version.

Question

Hello Monitor community, our organization has recently installed ArcGIS Monitor 2023.3.1 and I am currently configuring the same to be in-line with our requirements. I have observed the following problem while creating a custom collection in Monitor 2023.3.1. Following is the workflow used for creating the custom collection.

* Created the collection using the below query

Issue Observed = When I click on metrics tab for the collection, I am able to view all the default metrics that are assigned for type "Services" and hence do not honor the query I have set in the expression builder that is, show only metrics that have the "Metrics Name == Instances Saturation Percent" for type "Services"

Could anyone please confirm if this is expected behavior or am I hitting some kind of defect?

@MarlonS Thanks for your response. I will post the use case in the Ideas channel.

Hey Shawn!

Currently, collections are limited to components and will show all metrics associated with those components. From my understanding, you would want to show not only certain components, but certain metrics associated with those components. I do not believe this is possible at the current release of ArcGIS Monitor, but I would urge you to post this as an Idea in the Idea channel. I would love to hear your use case and I am sure there are others out there, who may feel the same.

Hey @MarlonS , Thank you for your response. I understand that analysis view will help in checking the instance saturation percentage in a dashboard which is helpful (will use it certainly) but my concern is specific to the collection section since the ability of Expression builder is provided there. As you say its an expected behavior what help would expression builder provide when creating a custom collection as per our needs.

The custom collection I am creating is as follows:

The above query is correctly followed by the components section of the custom collection, screenshot below:

But the Metrics section does not follow the query set, screenshot below

Since the service count is 271, expectation is that the metric count should also default to 271 in this case.

The ask here is that Collection allows customization and hence the ability should work fully rather than specific to certain sections. Thanks for your help!!
