Adding Individual KPIs
*To add or edit an individual KPI
1. In My webMethods, select: Navigate > Applications > Administration > Analytics > KPIs > Business Data (Optimize for Process only) or Navigate > Applications > Administration> Analytics > KPIs > System Data
2. Click Add KPI.
Optimize displays the Add/Edit KPI page.
3. Ensure that the Type field displays the appropriate type of KPI (System or Business). System KPIs monitor intrinsic system information, and Business KPIs monitor process data.
4. On the KPI Information panel, do the following:
a. In the Name field, type a name for the KPI.
b. For the moment, disregard the Unit of Measure and Calculation fields. They are populated automatically when you make a selection in the Fact field below.
c. In the Collection Interval drop-down list, specify how often Optimize should collect data for this KPI. The default is five minutes. The minimum collection interval is one minute, and the maximum collection interval is eight hours.
5. On the KPI Definition panel, do the following:
a. From the Definition Type list, select Individual.
b. From the Event Mapping list, select an appropriate event map for this KPI.
c. From the Measure list, select a measure to associate with the KPI. One or more measures associated with the event map you selected in the previous step appear in the Measure list. The appropriate selections appear in the Unit of Measure (UOM) and Calculation text boxes in the KPI Information panel after you have selected a measure.
d. From the Hierarchy list, select a dimension hierarchy, or select [No Hierarchy]. Optimize displays only those dimension hierarchies that include one or more dimension attributes associated with the event map you selected in the Event Mapping list.
e. From the Dimension list, select the dimension to associate with the KPI. Optimize displays only those dimensions that are associated with the KPI hierarchy you selected in the previous step.
f. From the Attribute list, select an attribute associated with the dimension you selected in the previous step.
6. If you are creating a Sum KPI and it is the first KPI on the specified measure, ensure that the Empty Data Set Behavior field displays the appropriate selection for the behavior you want.
7. Go back to the KPI Information panel and ensure that the Unit of Measure (UOM) and Calculation text boxes are populated appropriately.
8. Also in the KPI Information panel, enter or select the appropriate dimension variables for the Naming Template field, if applicable to your system. Dimension variables enable you to ensure that dimension instances are displayed with meaningful names on various data displays. Click the icon to view a list of dimension variables for the selected event map and process.
Tip:
Click the magnifying glass icon to see a sample KPI Instance name using the specified naming template.
9. Click Save.
