Issue/Introduction

You created an APM alert for one of the running service for which you want certain Urls to be excluded which are falling under specific folders.

Agent Specifier - Openshift\-prod.*\|WebSphere\|PROJECT\-one\-.*

Metric Specifier - Frontends\|Apps\|Bills.*\|URLs\|\bill.*:Average Response Time \(ms\)

The metric grouping shows that it is matching all URLs under path: 

Frontends|Apps|BillsAAAApplication|URLs|/bill12345/

like: 

.....preferences :Average Response Time (ms)

.....profiles :Average Response Time (ms)

.....preferences|Called Fragments|Future Supply :Average Response Time (ms)

.....profiles|Called Backends|WebServices :Average Response Time (ms)

.....preferences|Called Handovers|Task :Average Response Time (ms)

 

With the Metric specifier as above, it is picking Average Response Time value under folders ( Called Backends/Called Fragments/Called Handovers ). You do not want, 

You only want 1 and 2 URLs and exclude 3, 4 and 5 URLs.
