Configure a top-list visualization in Dynatrace

Shows query results as a top list.

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 required
  You must select Top list to display this type of visualization.
• 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.
