Hi All,

is it possible to create a metric grouping with regex excluding metrics that can be defined just with several lines?

we need to create 1 metric group group over ~5.000 metrics, where the agent and the beginning of the metric group is the same, but we need to exclude around ~4000 metrics.

FYI: from general metric group that can be defined with regex

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

we need to exclude some metrics that can be defined by another regex

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|SYSTEM\.EVENT(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|SYSTEM\.ADMIN(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|CUSTOMER\.WS_CONTEXT(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|CUSTOMER\.QL\.FIL\.(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

+40 more

and

100 other unique metrics that cant be defined with regex, but need to be excluded,

how can be this done or whats you idea/best practice/recommendation please?

is there some way to create a metric group and filter ~500metrics from all metrics (~10.000)?

= we need exclude some general types from them and in addition some specific ones as well?

thank you,

stefan

Hi Stefan,

To clarify, you want to create a metric group with one regex to include

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

we need to exclude something like the below. 

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|SYSTEM\.EVENT(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|SYSTEM\.ADMIN(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|CUSTOMER\.WS_CONTEXT(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|CUSTOMER\.QL\.FIL\.(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

Everything looks the same until after Queues, so specifically what do you want to exclude aside from SYSTEM and CUSTOMER?

Regards,
Matt

Hi All,

eventually i managed it with lookaround regex (Regex Tutorial - Lookahead and Lookbehind Zero-Length Assertions ), so maybe it can be a solution for you as well in the future.

i.e. 1 of the simplest metric expressions looks like this:

Queue Managers\|mqmgr|CUSTOMER\|Queues\|SYSTEM\.(?!.*EVENT|AUTH\.|BROKER\.DEPLOY\.REPLY|BROKER\.EXECUTIONGROUP\.QUEUE|BROKER\.TIMEOUT\.QUEUE|BROKER\.WS|CLUSTER\.REPOSITORY\.QUEUE|CHANNEL\.SYNCQ)(.*)\|Status:Current Queue Depth

but in some lines we have ~100 lookaround regex too.

thank you,

stefan

Thanks Stefan for sharing. Yes, there are many powerful things that you can do with regexes and agent/metric expressions.
