Import the Custom Metric Family XML File

After you create a custom metric family XML file and have verified it in a test environment, import it into your Data Aggregator installation.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Metric Families from the Monitoring Configuration menu for a Data Aggregator data source.

   A list of metric families displays, including factory and custom metric families. Factory metric families display a lock symbol.

2. Click Import.
3. Browse to select the custom metric family XML file, click Open, and then click Import.

   Your custom metric family is imported.

   Important! To avoid possible data loss, always back up your deploy directory each time you create or update a vendor certification, metric family, or component.
