Complex DataPoint for a Report
Hi Team,
I am wanting to create a report for TotalIOPS which on a dashboard I have is DiskReadsPerSec+DiskWritesPerSec on the dashboard widget. I would like to create a custom datapoint that can be applied to servers that can be pulled to a report just like any other DataPoint so that I can create a report showing IOPs for a specific point in time such as May 1st 6am to 6pm. Currently I can create a metric report showing Reads and Writes but not the operation to combine them for total IOPs. I did look at the Complex DataPoints page and saw the syntax but it does not give clear real world examples and I've never created a complex datapoint before. I keep getting an error stating either syntax is incorrect or the datapoints do not exist but I copied the datapoints from the widget. Any help would be appreciated!
I have answered my own question, I was trying to put the expression in a DataSource that did not have the DiskReadsPerSec (I was using a DataSource that had been cloned and applied to a specific client). When I added the expression to the built in DataSource that has the correct DataPoints then it did not give the error.
