Configure and use a pie visualization in Dynatrace

Displays the selected metrics as a pie/doughnut chart.

Select a different metric

By default, this visualization shows the first metric of a multi-metric query.

To select a different metric from a multi-metric query, select the letter next to the metric you want to visualize. In this example, you would change the selection from A (CPU usage %) to B (Memory used %).

Visual settings

Visualization

You must select Pie to display this type of visualization.

Show legend

Whether to display a legend under the visualization.

Note that the legend is active: you can select a legend entry to toggle display of the corresponding entry on or off.

Fold transformation

The fold transformation combines a data points list (a timeseries: a collection of data points over the time period) into a single data point.

• The default fold transformation is Auto, which automatically selects the most appropriate time aggregation based on the metric.
• You can manually override Auto with any of the following: Last value, Average, Count, Maximum, Minimum, Sum, Median, Value, Percentile 10th, Percentile 75th, Percentile 90th.
• If you need to see the last reported value for a metric (rather than an aggregation), select Last value.

Per-metric visual settings

The Visual settings section also displays visualization options per metric selected for the query.

Rename a metric

You can change the name of a metric as it is displayed on the chart and in the chart legend. The query definition retains the metric's original name.

1. In the Visual settings section, select for the metric you want to rename.
2. Edit the name, and then select the checkmark to save the new name.

Change color palette

To change the color palette for a metric, in the Visual settings section, select a new palette from the list.

Format

Use the Format setting to configure the number of decimal places displayed for the selected metric.

• None = No formatting
• Auto = Dynatrace selects an appropriate format
• Other selections specify the number of decimal places to display: 0, 0.0, 0.00, 0.000

For example, where None would display 5.062357754177517 %, Auto would display 5.06 %.

Add color override

To force a different color (override the color palette) for a specific series such as a selected host

1. In the Visual settings section, select Add color override
2. Select the series from the list
3. Select the override color for that series
