Metric Number

A Metric Number chart highlights a single value/KPI and is typically created by:

• A single measure which can be specified using the Data Panel.
• Combining or aggregating multiple metrics.

The value display shows:

• A single measure or metric value at any instant.
• A comparison of two values (either two different metrics or a metric at different points of time).
• An aggregation of metrics across many objects or a large interval of time.

If the trend of a value over time is concerning, you can enrich these charts with contextual information to better interpret the present value, or the change in value over a time period. These charts can display numbers and text, for example, date and time of an incident.

You can also display the metric value, or a combination of these values in various ways, such as selecting a single metric:

• By name associated with a particular entity, or object that you want to learn more about.

• Aggregated across all entities of a certain type, or a provided sub-list of entities.

• Aggregated for a sub-list of entities which is dynamically determined.

The metric number helps you understand the metric value at the current point in time, and also the pattern of the metric value over a time interval.
