Import Derived Measures

Derived measures are computed metrics that NVIDIA Minerva calculates by applying formulas to raw telemetry data. They extend the base telemetry fields — such as byte counts, error counters, and operational state values — with higher-level calculations like utilization percentages, loss ratios, and link-down indicators.

The Reference Configuration Package includes the derived measures used by the preconfigured dashboards and auto-correlation feed views. Import the derived measures before importing any dashboards or auto-correlation feed views. Dashboard views and auto-correlation feeds that reference a derived measure will not display data correctly if the measure is not present.

The import is safe to run more than once; it updates any existing derived measure that has a matching name.

If you don't have the Reference Configuration Package, contact your NVIDIA sales representative.

Import Derived Measures

The derived-measure bundle is located in the Reference Configuration Package at minerva-configs/derived-measures/derivedMeasures.json.

To import the derived measures, follow these steps:

  1. Make the current Reference Configuration Package available on a system that can access the NVIDIA Minerva UI.

  2. In the upper-right corner, click Settings menu and select Actions > Import.

  3. Click Select file and choose derivedMeasures.json from the minerva-configs/derived-measures directory.

  4. Click Import.

  5. Review the import results and confirm that no items failed.

For a full list of derived measures, their formulas, and the dashboard views that use them, see the README.md file in the minerva-configs/derived-measures directory of the Reference Configuration Package.
