Creating widgets with calculated metrics

This guide explains how to use calculated metrics in your widgets.

Introduction

Calculated metrics are metrics created based on a combination of other metrics, such as a sum or a ratio. Calculated metrics can be used in Data Explorer and Dashboards to analyze and visualize your data. Adverity displays calculated metrics in green with the sign.

Calculated metrics can be loaded into Adverity Data Storage but not external destinations.

For more information on calculated metrics, see Calculated metrics.
