We are monitoring Jira JMX through SolarWinds. Among the stats we are fetching, some of them need some kind of "transformation". I am new to SolarWinds so I am not sure if I am using the right technical terms so I'll give you an example:
Two of the attributes that are being exposed through the JMX interface are Database Reads and Database Writes. The fetched values are total values, which are being counted since the application started. I am not interested in this number, however I want to see the monthly/daily/hourly rates. Basically, let's say that I would like to answer questions such as how many database reads were performed during the last hour and compare it with the previous hour. I would like to depict this info using a line chart where xx' is time and yy' is the calculated number.
I want to do the same with other stats as well, such as the Garbage Collection Count (counts the number of times GC has run so far) and other JVM metrics, but I am not able to figure out how. Is this possible?
I've done this in Grafana successfully, so I'll attach two photos that show the difference.
