Custom chart types
This page lists the custom chart types that are available for Dynatrace dashboards.
The custom chart functionality described in this help topic is being phased out. In its place, Dynatrace now offers the Data explorer, currently in Early Adopter release. The Data explorer greatly enhances your abilities to query and chart metrics.
Timeseries charts
The timeseries chart supports up to 5 metrics in a single chart.
The following timeseries chart types are available:
Line charts
Stacked area charts
Stacked bar charts
You can set the type for every metric in the chart. To select the type of a chart:
- Expand the table row of the required metric to access the available charting options.
- From the Chart type list, select the required visualization.
Pie charts
The pie chart shows a distribution of measurements between metric dimensions. It supports only 1 metric in a single chart.
The example below shows the distribution of number of calls between methods of the demo application.
Select a dimension in the legend to deactivate it and temporarily remove it from the chart.
Top list charts
Top list charts show up to 15 of the top dimensions of a metric. This chart type supports only 1 metric per chart.
The example below shows top-5 hosts by CPU usage.
When pinned to a dashboard, the top list chart displays as many entities as possible, up to a maximum of 15, depending on the size of the tile. If some entries don't fit on the tile, an overflow message is displayed, for example 5 more.
Single value chart
The single value chart shows the aggregated value of a metric for the specified timeframe and aggregation.
