Note that Cortex-provided metrics in Data Explorer sync on a scheduled basis, updating every four (4) hours. Custom metrics have their own sync schedules.
Accessing metrics in Data Explorer
Follow the steps below to access metrics in Data Explorer.- From the main sidebar, expand Eng Intelligence, then select Data Explorer.
-
In the right pane, click the tab below Data. The Metrics window opens.
-
Select a metric to view, then click View metric. The chart updates automatically based on the metric you selected.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary.
Available metrics
AI tools
AI tool metrics are available to cloud customers in the beta program.
Deployment metrics
Deploy metrics are pulled from the Cortex deploys API.Incident metrics
Incident metrics are pulled from PagerDuty.Project management metrics
Project management metrics are pulled from Jira.Project management metrics do not support JQL entity mapping. If you configured a default JQL query per entity, it is not applied when viewing, filtering, or segmenting these metrics in Data Explorer.
Version control metrics
Version control metrics are pulled from Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab.Pull request–related metrics include PRs from any branch.
Custom metrics
You can view custom metrics in Data Explorer alongside Cortex’s out-of-the-box metrics, appearing in the category selected at creation. Custom metrics are displayed as raw numeric values and can be aggregated using the following operations: average, max, median, min, p95, and sum.Entity data in table view
The Table view supports three categories of entity data in addition to metrics. Unlike metrics, these columns aren’t time series; they show the entity’s current values.
Example reports
You can now create the following common reports in Eng Intelligence, without CQL, and add them to saved modules and dashboards.
Refer to Adding entity data to table view for more information.
Scorecards (table view only)
Table view supports Scorecard results as a metric, so a Scorecard column can sit next to delivery data in the same report. Compare a service’s Scorecard score against its cycle time, or track migration progress across every entity in one view. Every Scorecard in your workspace appears in the Metrics window, under Cortex (Table only) > Scorecards. Select a Scorecard, choose a data point, then click Select data.
Each column holds one data point. To show both the score and the level for the same Scorecard, add a second column and select the other data point. Columns are named for the Scorecard and the data point, such as Git Migration (Score %).
Scorecard results are evaluated per entity, so adding a Scorecard column sets Group by to an entity-based option. Entity, Group, Domain, Entity type, Entity owner, and relationship groupings stay available. Team and user groupings aren’t available while a Scorecard column is in the table.
Scorecard columns show current results rather than a time series, so the time range filter doesn’t apply to them. It still applies to the metric columns in the same table. Historical Scorecard data isn’t supported yet.
