This is a general description of the unified analysis extension YAML file and ways to create custom visualizations and configure cards, dashboards, and injections.
To customize the details screen, start with the detailsSettings
and specify the types of information to be included on a unified analysis page. This enables you to customize the page to show all of the data points, charts, and visuals that are most relevant and beneficial to you.

.The detailsInjections
field defines injections for the entity details page. This information can be used to better evaluate user experience and also help with root-cause analysis.
Injections must be supported by the screen—the layout needs to include an injected cards placeholder.

entitySelectorTemplate
It can serve multiple purposes—selecting the entity where the chart will be displayed and filtering them based on certain rules or relating entities. It is used in conjunction with entityType
to further refine which entities are applicable for the card. For example, if entityType
is HOST
, you can use entitySelectorTemplate
to show the card only for hosts using a certain operating system.
$entityConditions
acts as a dynamic placeholder, adapting to the context in which the card appears. For example, when the card is displayed on a page dedicated to a specific host, $entityConditions
will automatically adjust to conditions applicable to that host.
For example, when the card with the following configuration is displayed on the host page.
"entitySelectorTemplate": "type(NETWORK_INTERFACE) AND fromRelationships.isNetworkInterfaceOf($(entityConditions))"
The $(entityConditions)
placeholder will be automatically replaced to point to the specific host entity.
"entitySelectorTemplate": "type(NETWORK_INTERFACE) AND fromRelationships.isNetworkInterfaceOf(type(HOST) AND entityId(HOST-<id>))"

.The detailsFilter
field defines filters for the entity details screen. It enables you to customize the page to show only the data you want to see.

relationships
You can enable filtering by configuring the relationship between screen entity type and related entity type. For example, filter process list by host name:
relationships:- type(HOST) AND toRelationship.isProcessOf($(entityConditions))
You can also configure the filtering on multiple levels. For example, filter the processes by host group name:
relationships:- type(HOST) AND toRelationship.isProcessOf($(entityConditions))- type(HOST) AND fromRelationship.isInstanceOf(type(HOST_GROUP))
entityFilters
The block that defines the groups of filters (these are displayed slightly grayed out in the filtering list).

It can serve multiple purposes—selecting the entity where the chart will be displayed and filtering them based on certain rules or relating entities. It is used in conjunction with entityType
to further refine which entities are applicable for the card. For example, if entityType

, you can use entitySelectorTemplate

$entityConditions
acts as a dynamic placeholder, adapting to the context in which the card appears. For example, when the card is displayed on a page dedicated to a specific host, $entityConditions
will automatically adjust to conditions applicable to that host.
For example, when the card with the following configuration is displayed on the host page.
"entitySelectorTemplate": "type(NETWORK_INTERFACE) AND fromRelationships.isNetworkInterfaceOf($(entityConditions))"
The $(entityConditions)
placeholder will be automatically replaced to point to the specific host entity.

Health cards provide a visual representation of specific metrics within the Dynatrace UI. Each card can be tailored to display up to six distinct tiles, each representing a unique metric or data point.
Health tile can be used as navigation button to specify element on the page that will give more details about that metric.
