The PlateSpin Orchestrate Development Client supports the Metrics Facility in the following ways:
Metrics object: A Metrics object is deployed in the Explorer tree. Use the right-click menu to display the “deploy” and “undeploy” actions. Pre-defined .metric files are located in the /opt/novell/zenworks/zos/server/components/metrics folder, or you can create a new .metric file and paste in the XML as shown in Section C.4.1, XML Format for Deployable .metric Definitions.
Metrics objects are listed by their deployment name, which may or may not be the same as the name of the actual metric. This potentially allows multiple, separately deployable, RRD definitions for a single “instantaneous” metric, with different aggregation periods defined.
Metrics Editor: Selecting the Metrics object opens a free-form XML editor in the admin view of the client. The editor is similar to the Event” editor for viewing RRD definition XML.
