Modify scale of Datadog metric

Question

I have a time series presenting time values like this one:

I want to change the y-axis to represent hours instead of milliseconds, i.e. divide by 3600. Any idea how to do it?

Answer 1

This can be achieved in two ways.

If you only want this logic to applied on this one graph, you can divide metric either using the UI editor and clicking advanced or using the JSON editor:

Or JSON editor: https://help.datadoghq.com/hc/en-us/articles/203764925-How-do-I-use-arithmetic-for-my-time-series-data-

Alternatively, you can use the Metric Summary page to edit this metric's metadata and alter this metric's unit throughout the application as seen here: http://cl.ly/2x0Z290w2I3V

Hope this helps. Also, you can reach out to [email protected] if you run into any other issues in the future.
