Panel: Bar / Mixed Aggregation Chart ¶
Overview¶
This mixed chart panel allows users to visualize aggregated data over time windows as columns (vertical) or bars (horizontal) or as a mixed chart of types connected lines, scatter (points), steps, or area. Data is aggregated using one of the following calculations: average, minimum, maximum, sum, or a count of times received. Overall time range and time window duration are both customizable.
The chart loads data when the dashboard loads but does not automatically refresh. A refresh button is provided for the user to refresh the chart.
