Editing a Metric Extension

Before editing an existing metric extension, you must have Edit privileges on the extension you are editing or be the extension creator. Note: Once a metric extension is saved as a deployable draft, it cannot be edited, you can only create a new version.

To edit 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 the metric extension to be edited.
  4. From the Actions menu, select Edit.
  5. Update the metric extension as needed.
  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.
