Creating a New Profile

The “+ New Profile” button on the BizMetry Home Screen allows you to create a new monitoring profile, which acts as a logical workspace grouping environments, templates, agents, and resources under your organization’s account.

🧭 Accessing the Profile Creation Wizard

You can open the Profile Creation Wizard in two ways:

  1. From the Home Screen, click the “+ New Profile” button located in the top-right corner of the profile tiles section.
  2. Alternatively, open the Main Menu (☰) → select Create Profile.

Both options launch the same guided workflow that will help you define and initialize a new telemetry profile.

💡 Each BizMetry profile functions as an independent telemetry domain, allowing complete separation of data, templates, and environments.

🧱 What a Profile Represents

A profile in BizMetry encapsulates: - A telemetry template (the structure of metrics and resources you want to observe) - One or more environments (e.g., Development, QA, Production) - Associated agents responsible for collecting data - Resources (ASBOs – Application-Specific Business Objects) - Optional metadata, such as owners, purpose, and visibility flags

Profiles provide isolation and contextualization of observability data, ideal for large organizations with multiple projects or business units.

🧩 Profile Creation Steps

When you click “+ New Profile”, the wizard will guide you through the following steps:

1. Define Basic Information

Enter: - Profile Name - Description - Project Name (optional, for internal grouping)

2. Select a Telemetry Template

Choose an existing template from: - The Master Template provided by BizMetry
- A custom template instance previously created or imported

📘 Templates define the resource types, metrics, and telemetry schema that your profile will use.

3. Configure Environments

Add one or more environments (e.g., Development, QA, Production), specifying: - Environment name - Environment type (logical, physical, test, etc.) - Optional description

4. Review and Confirm

After reviewing your selections, click Create Profile to finalize.
BizMetry will automatically: - Create the new profile entry
- Link it to the selected template
- Initialize its default environment
- Register it in the profile tiles section of the Home Screen

⚙️ After Creation

Once the profile is created, it will appear in the Profile Tiles Section of the Home Screen.
From there, you can: - Open the ellipsis menu (⋮) for advanced actions such as Edit Details, Manage Environments, Assign Agents, or Clone
- Add or modify telemetry templates
- Begin monitoring metrics as soon as agents connect

💡 Best Practices

  • Use clear, descriptive names (e.g., Retail-POS-Prod or MLPipeline-QA).
  • Clone existing profiles if you need identical configurations for new projects.
  • Limit environments to logical scopes for better dashboard organization.
