Enabling FlexGroup Constituents

[rahulguptajss]

Customize templates according to the collectors used by your Harvest Poller. If you're uncertain, you can extend the templates for all collectors listed below.

Note: Enabling FlexGroup Constituents counters may slow down data collection due to a high number of constituents metrics.

Note: Applicable from Harvest 25.11. For previous versions, follow the steps outlined in this GitHub discussion.
