Hi, we've trying that at my lab environment and running well. We can monitor, diagnosis, and analysis workflows. But we need to add some matrics. For example, at existing we found query AST to path="/mgmt/tm/ltm/dns/cache/resolver/stats". We need to monitor path="/mgmt/tm/ltm/dns/cache/transparen/stats" and  path="/mgmt/tm/ltm/dns/cache/validating-resolver/stats" aslo.

How to add new matrics? can you share step-by-step to add that?

    I'd recommend filing an issue against the GitHub repo. The dev/product team will see this, then take appropriate action. Hope this helps. https://github.com/f5devcentral/application-study-tool

      Is this supported by F5 support, or DevCentral Community only?

        Hi Shaun_B_​ -- the Application Study Tool is currently supported via the GitHub repo. This may change in the future to include F5 Support.
