Configure and use a pie visualization in Dynatrace

Displays the selected metrics as a pie/doughnut chart.

Change selection of metrics

Your pie chart can display any selection of metrics from a multi-metric query. The letter next to each metric in your query toggles display of that metric on or off.

In this example, you would change the selection from A (CPU usage % only) to both A and B (CPU usage % and Memory used %).

Visual settings

• Visualization required
  You must select Pie to display this type of visualization.
• Show legend optional
  Whether to display a legend next to the chart. Note that the legend is active: you can select a legend entry to toggle chart display of the corresponding entry on or off.
• Last value optional
  In certain cases, you need to see the last reported value for a metric, not the total aggregate over the time span, to help you understand the current state. To do this, turn on Last value.
