Edit and Test a Metric Extension
You can edit and test a newly created Metric Extension against a Managed Database, if the Metric Extension is in draft status.
To edit and test a Metric Extension:
- Go to the Administration Metric Extensions page and verify the status of the Metric Extension in the Status column.
- Click the Actions icon () for the Metric Extension and click Edit to edit the Metric Extension and click Update to save the changes.
- Click Test in the same Edit: <Name of Metric Extension [Database Resource Type]> panel to test the Metric Extension. Alternately, you can also click Test in the Actions menu on the Administration Metric Extensions page to test the Metric Extension against a Managed Database.
- In the Test: <Name of Metric Extension [Database Resource
Type]> panel, select a Managed Database in the
Test section.
Note
When testing a Metric Extension, it's recommended that you:- Do not test on production environments.
- Allocate a test resource instance with its own Management Agent dedicated to testing. A query or script that is being tested in the Metric Extension could perform poorly and impact other Management Agent functionality.
- Click Test.
If testing is successful, verify that the metric values returned are correct. If testing fails, repeat the steps to create the Metric Extension.
