Hi all. Hope someone can point me in right direction: My application is sending signal that something crashed on backend. I want to create dashboard that need to show that crush and and after some time to return to 0 When I select it function COUNT it always add values and is not good way to represent this signal When I select MAX it is always showing 1 event that happened I want to 0 and when it happens I want to show peek? Anyone has idea how to set this up? Thanks

Does the application also send 0 zero after returned to regular state?
m
no, it can just caught exception and send signal
s
Is this part of trace event?
m
no it is independent crash event
s
Is it recorded as a metric? How is it sent to SigNoz?
m
yes, it is recorder as metrics
s
What is the metric type for this measurement?
m
not sure how to find it, I will investigate and get back to you. Thanks for your answers
I have to dig deeper into this. I can’t find best metric type and metric for my use case

@Milan Perovic You are creating the metric right? You can check in code how it is created?
@Srikanth Chekuri a counter should be okay here to use?
s
Yes, that should work. When you apply rate it will come down to zero when there is no change in error count since last interval.

If I use counter if will just sum up all errors. I need more investigation on my side to get this right. Thanks for your time
