HPA Portal sections Custom metrics management Activation

Whatever new metrics or less metrics, this must be activated first

This is done via a new entry in <HPA agent dir>/override_config folder:

  • if not existing the folder ./customMetrics must be created
  • if not existing inside ./customMetrics, the new file hpa_customerconfig.pbl must be created

The hpa_customerconfig.pbl will contain a reference to each .pbd file created to change the HPA native behavior for metrics management

Activate the PBD file

To activate the PBD file, it must be added it at the end of <HPA agent dir>/override_config/customMetrics/hpa_customerconfig.pbl

For example:

#####
# Add here your custom directives.
# Be sure to valide it with Hexagon support team

# Example : custom_metric.pbd
# Example : other_set_of_custom_metrics.pbd

my_new_custom_metric.pbd

Hot reloading

As soon as PBD or PBL files are modified, their modifications are applied in the next minutes without any restart

Note that for performance reason, groovy scripts used for new metrics are compiled only the first time it is executed and then can not be modified without renaming
