Foglight heatmap prepends database type with every connection agent name (4228544)

Is there a way to remove the database platform type in front of every connection on the heatmap?

The database platform type (i.e. SQL Server, Oracle, DB2) is included at the beginning of each database agent name in the Global View heatmap making it difficult to view the agent names.

WORKAROUND 1

Tooltips are available detailing the name of the monitored host when the cursor is positioned over the agent name in the heatmap.

WORKAROUND 2

The following customization can be made to change the display name to only include the agent name and not the database type.

Using a foglight account that has access the cartridge developer role.

1. Navigate to Dashboards | Configuration | Definitions
   
2. Select All Definitions
   
3.  Type GVHeatmapChart in the search bar and click the entry for the GVHeatmapChart view in the chart below the search bar
   
4. In the right panel, click the Edit button
   
   
5. Click the Configuration tab and then expand the Parent Data Type row
   
6. Click the value icon for Label under Parent Data Type, then Change to Binding and select Context
   
7. In the Input Key pulldown, select currentNode (UIHeatmapNode)
   
8. Type name in the Path field
   
9. Click the Save button
   
10. Return to the heatmap view of the Global View databases dashboard. The agent names should now be displayed without the database type. 

Note: This customization change would be removed with the upgrade of any database cartridge upgrade because it is part of the common Global View component. It would have to be reapplied following each database cartridge upgrade.

RESOLUTION

Enhancement Request FOGGENERAL-I-122 has been created to make this change included in the heatmap view of the Global View dashboard. This request will be considered for future releases by Product Management.
