Hi Jiri,
I try to look into these patches. As far as I understand we are using
syntax "Name: Expression" for user defined events. It will be great if we
mention
this format somewhere for users.
Otherwise it works fine for me. Try by testing it for different metric
expressions.
But still curious about reason for adding this support. Isn't json file is
there for same purpose?
Thanks,
Kajol Jain
