Creating a New Metric Extension (Create Like)

To create a new metric extension based on an existing metric extension:

  1. From the Enterprise menu, select Monitoring, then select Metric Extensions.
  2. From the Metric Extensions page, determine which extensions are accessible. The page displays the list of metric extensions along with target type, owner, production version and deployment information.
  3. Select an existing metric extension.
  4. From the Actions menu, select Create Like. Enterprise Manager will determine whether you have the Create Extension privilege and guide you through the creation process.
  5. Make desired modifications.
  6. From the Test page, add available test targets.
  7. Click Run Test to validate the metric extension. The extension is deployed to the test targets specified by the user and a real-time collection is executed. Afterwards, the metric extension is automatically undeployed. The results and any errors are added to the Test Results region.
  8. Repeat the edit /test cycle until the metric extension returns data as expected.
  9. Click Finish.
