Dynamic Metric Names

[Bryan Bende]

Hello,

Is it possible to define metrics and have the name include some kind of
parameter that would be determined later?

For example "my.metric.{id}" where id would be based on a value from the
sending system that is not known until runtime.

There appears to be an example of this in the Kafka metrics.json:

"metrics/kafka/cluster/Partition/$1-UnderReplicated": {
              "metric": "kafka.cluster.Partition.(\\w+)-UnderReplicated",
              "pointInTime": true,
              "temporal": true
}

but how do you use this when adding a widget?

Thanks,

Bryan
