(Event) Create a dashboard with Metric Name, Type and Additional information as selection drop down

[Keerthan S]

I used cascading filter for 'Type' as field name and 'alert(em_alert) as table and used filter condition as Source is "abc"(source name), it worked on reports of alerts. But if I want to retrieve 'Metric Name' as drop down for filtering alerts I could not able to get metric name instead I am getting sys_id of that alert. I observed that it is of 'string' field type and even additional info is of string type. Please help with this.

Hi @Keerthan S ,

Can't you select the display name instead of the sysid?

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as accepted solution and give a thumb up.

Hi @AndersBGS actually I mentioned metric name only in the display but I am getting sys_id after applying filter

All> Metric name = xyz instead I am getting All> Metric name = 01a...(sys_id of alert) after selecting xyz from dropdown
