Goodmorning everyone,
I woud like to share with you how this problem was solved.
Disclaimer: If you don't want to read it all, skip to >>.
My problem: I couldn't see the grapichal result of Differential Analysis in Team Center in my production environment, meaning I only saw this:
My previous situation: in my production environment I didn't have a default MM for Team Center ( I don't know why I didn't have it since it comes out of the box but even if I had it I coudn't afford it since it produce more metric in my already heavy, big environment) so I had to create one similar to it based on the specific agents expression I was interested to and based on default metric expressions.
The set of metric expressions was imported from the default MM for Team Center that I still have in my test environment; my rookie guess was that after adding all those metrics expression and create a differential control linked to the metric grouping in which they were hosted I would have had the differential analisys visible in Team Center.
That guess was wrong.
>>The graphical result of the differential analisys is only gave for frontend components and only if you set up a metric grouping as follow:
metric grouping agent expression: Custom Metric Host \(Virtual\)\|Custom Metric Process \(Virtual\)\|Custom Business Application Agent \(Virtual\)
metric expressions: By Frontend\|(.*)\|Health:Average Response Time \(ms\)
After you need to create a standard differential control and link it to this metric grouping and the job is done, you'll see this as a result:
This has worked for me, since before this config i was only seeing the straight line in blue, but I admit I only have 1,5 year experience with ca tecnologies products (APM, Spectrum, CEM and others..) and Team Center is the very new thing to play with (actually not to play with since there are a lot of expectation from it) so if you have something to contribute with or you notice wrong info that I provide you're more than welcome to join this thread.
Have a nice day
Ps many many thanks to Antonello Chiaravalle that helped me to figure out this thing,
