Adding Static Properties to Metric names¶
The collector adds a minimum number of properties to the metric name. However, in some cases it is desirable to add some properties manually.
In such a case, an extra_properties object may be added to the query definition, containing the extra properties.
Example:¶
The following metric name came out of a basic configuration of the google-analytics collector:
collector=google_analytics.deviceCategory=mobile
.ver=2.view_id=1234321.what=ga_goal1ConversionRate
.target_type=gauge
The user wanted to add another property environ=test in order to separate this query from a similar query.
