This is a general description of the unified analysis extension YAML file and ways to create custom visualizations and configure cards, dashboards, and injections.

Details settings

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.

detailsSettings:
      staticContent:
        showProblems: true
        showProperties: true
        showTags: true
        showGlobalFilter: true
        showAddTag: true
      layout:
        autoGenerate: false
        cards:
          - key: cpu_mem
            type: CHART_GROUP
          - key: disks
            type: ENTITIES_LIST

`staticContent`

Enable or disable static elements like problems, properties, tags, global filter and Add tag option.

Field	Type	Description	Required
`showProblems`	boolean	If `true`, the details screen shows the problem card.	required
`showProperties`	boolean	If `true`, the details screem shows the properties card.	required
`showTags`	boolean	If `true`, the details screem shows the entity tags.	required
`showFilterBar`	boolean	If `true`, the details screen shows the filter bar.	required
`showAddTag`	boolean	If `true`, the details screen shows the Add tag option.	required

`layout`

Reference cards that should be shown on the screen (like chart groups or entity lists) or use the automatically generated screen layout.

Field	Type	Description	Required
`autoGenerate`	boolean	If `true`, the screen content is automatically generated.	required
`cards`	enum	Possible values for `type` field: `CHART_GROUP`, `ENTITIES_LIST`, `EVENTS`, `LOGS`, `MESSAGE`, `METRIC_TABLE`, `INJECTIONS`, `BREAK_LINE`, `HEALTH_CARD`, `CARD_GROUP`.	optional

Details injections

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.

detailsInjections:
      - type: CHART_GROUP
        entitySelectorTemplate: type(custom:host), toRelationship.sameAs($(entityConditions))
        key: injectedChartGroups
      - type: ENTITIES_LIST
        key: injectedList
        width: HALF_SIZE
      - type: EVENTS
        key: injectedEvents
        width: FULL_SIZE

Field	Type	Description	Required
`type`	enum	Defines the type of card available to inject. Possible values: `CHART_GROUP`, `ENTITIES_LIST`, `EVENTS`, `LOGS`, `MESSAGE`, `HEALTH_CARD`, `CARD_GROUP`, `METRIC_TABLE`.	required
`key`	String	The unique key of the card, which is used to reference desired card configuration.	required
`entitySelectorTemplate`	String	Entity selector pointing to related entities. 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>))"	optional
`width`	enum	A value that determines how much vertical space the card is taking. Possible values: `HALF_SIZE`, `FULL_SIZE`.	optional

Details filters

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. It automatically displays metric dimension filters if there are any dimension splits on the screen (chart or metric table). To display only metric dimension filters, define it as empty (detailsFilters: {}).

detailsFilters:
      relationships:
        - type(HOST_GROUP), toRelationship.isInstanceOf($(entityConditions))
        - type(AZURE_REGION), fromRelationship.isSiteOf($(entityConditions))
      entityFilters:
        - displayName: filters
          filters:
            - type: entityName
              displayName: name
              freeText: false
              modifier: contains
              defaultSearch: true
              distinct: false
              entityTypes:
                - my:interface

`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).

Field	Type	Description	Required
`filters`	Array	The actual filters that are part of this group.	required
`type`	String	Must reference an attribute of the entity you are filtering. Note: every entity has `entityName` as a default attribute.	required

`freeText`	boolean	If `true`, the user can freely type text; otherwise, they must select from a list of suggestions. Note: only default attributes such as `entityName` are capable of offering list of suggestions.	required
`modifier`	boolean	When `freeText` is true, this defines how the text should be matched against the attribute. When `freeText` is false, this must be omitted. Note: All non-default attributes must match as `equals` regardless of this option.	optional
`defaultSearch`	boolean	If `true`, if the user starts typing without selecting a filter first, this filter is selected by default. Only one filter within the `filtering` block may have this enabled.	optional
`distinct`	boolean	If `true`, only one instance of this filter can be applied.	required
`entityTypes`	Array	A mandatory list of entity types that this filter applies to. If you omit this, your filtering bar just shows a spinning wheel because of the incomplete definition.	optional

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.
