Add a yes or no custom metric.

A yes or no custom metric lives on the hub, the same way a number does. A command on the machine POSTs true, 1, yes, or ok for yes. No is the other state.

Yes / No has no graph and no threshold rows. The post itself is the state: yes is the meaning you pick, and no is the other one.

Open Health › custom metrics

Select the machine, then health › custom metrics. The list is the machine heartbeat until you add a named metric. Press Add custom metric.

Custom metrics tab with the machine heartbeat URL and an Add custom metric button — Custom metrics on Accounts server, before a yes or no metric exists.

Choose Yes / No and name the status

Set Value type to Yes / No. Name it, then set the JSON key the command will send and the label on the tile. Yes means Up or Down. No means the other state. Post true, 1, yes, or ok for yes. Expect a post and the grace are the same as a number. This shot stops before Create URL.

Add custom metric window set to Yes / No, named Backup finished, with yes meaning Up — Backup finished. The JSON key is status, the label is available, and yes means Up.

A measurement with a unit and thresholds is Add a custom metric. Changing the name or minting a new URL is Change or remove a custom metric. The confirm on remove is Remove a custom metric.
