Datapoint - Absolute Delta %
I opened a support request to see if we are able to create a datapoint to show the delta for a given instance. At this time, this cannot be done without introducing files and scripts to accomplish this task. I know I can create an alert based off of an absolute delta % but I want something I can graph or put into a table. This may or may not be doable but it would be nice to create a graph or table to show the delta for a given normal datapoint. Example would be for interface bandwidth. Let's say I want to know the absolute delta % for InOctets. My current value is 1000 bps and my previous value was 500 bps. The delta datapoint would show 100% abs((1000-500)/500). Another use case might be for disk space, or memory utilization.
