Add option for aggregation function (avg, max) for custom metrics

Hello,

Can you please add an option to chose aggregation function when displaying custom metrics?

In attached example you can see that metrics are collected every 1 second but when you choose larger time interval then instana automatically aggregates data with average function. In context of JDBC connections it would be better to show max value within that aggregation windows (e.g. 1 instead of 18.500m).


Best regards,

ldrascic

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your idea to IBM. Your request to allow selection of aggregation functions (such as max or last value) when displaying custom metrics may not be delivered within the release currently under development; however, the theme aligns with our longer-term roadmap and, as such, is being tagged for future consideration. IBM may consider and evaluate community feedback for this request through activities such as voting, and we may reach out to you in the future to discuss additional details.

    We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, recommendations, and ideas.

    If you have any additional feedback or thoughts, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.

    Please note: IBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM’s sole discretion.
