Pre-Aggregate Binning

For the Table, Timeseries, and Crosstab widgets, you can use bins to segment measurements before aggregation is applied. Each bin is represented by a color that conforms to a condition. You can color bins, for example, to reflect good and bad ranges.

A bin can be linked to a predefined threshold profile or defined based on your preferred segment measurement.

To set up pre-aggregate bins:

1. In Monitoring, open the dashboard that contains the widget you want to set up bins for.

2. Click Author in the top-right to enter authoring mode.

3. Click the card you want to edit. The Card detail sidebar opens on the right.

4. In Data, click Set up bins for the metric you want to set up bins for. The <metric name> dialog opens.
   

5. Select the binning method:
   

   • Profile: Link a pre-aggregate profile. More information: Threshold Profiles
   • Segment measurements by value: Count the record if its value crosses a fixed value
   • Segment measurements by value from baseline: Count the record if its value crosses a baseline plus or minus a value (for example, 20 ms over baseline)
   • Segment measurements by % from baseline: Count the record if its value crosses a baseline plus or minus a percentage (for example, 10% over baseline)

6. Configure the parameters.

   • For Profile, select the profile from the dropdown list.
   • For Segment measurements by ..., click Add bin + , and then set the parameters under Value and Shown as to define the condition and bin color. Repeat this step as needed.

7. Click ✓ on the upper right to save and apply the changes.
