The workload manager metrics will appear in the investigator tree under the folder Workload Manager Service Goals, which is inside the z/OS Metrics folder. There will be one subfolder for each service goal as a Workload_Class_Period triplet. The three part folder name will use underscore separators between Workload, Class, and Period.
