    • Chart Type

      The dashboard supports eight chart types including line charts and area charts. Take a line chart as an example here.

    • Metric Group

      The platform groups numerous metrics and you can directly select a group or enter text to search. Take the container instance under the project resource as an example here.

    • Dimension

      It is similar to GROUP BY in SQL. In general, select time or container ID for monitoring indicators.

    • Value

      It refers to the specific metric and the aggregation method, which is similar to SELECT avg(cpu_usage_percent) in SQL. Here takes the average of CPU usage as an example.

    • Result Sort

      Similar to ORDER BY in SQL.

    • Result Limit

      Similar to LIMIT in SQL.

    • Fixed Time Range

      If set, the time range is fixed and will not change with the overall time range. It is unnecessary to set in most cases.

    After completing the configuration, the chart is as follows:

    # Adjust the Chart

    # Save the Chart

    Click the save button on the upper right corner to save the chart and dashboard.
