Select Pie Chart View Settings

To use a generic pie chart, select the settings that determine the data that is included in the view. The pie chart view includes a table that breaks out the data by managed item. You can select a metric family for reporting and the individual metrics that are included in the pie chart. You can also select a new title for the view.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Options (gear) icon on the view, and select Edit from the menu.

   The view Settings dialog opens.

2. Change the view Title or Subtitle to reflect the modified view. The Subtitle is already selected if the view appears on an item context page.
3. Select a Metric Family to display in the view.

   For example, select the 'CPU' metric family to see CPU statistics.

4. Select the Metric Label type to use in the pie chart.

   Each Metric Label you select represents a column header in the data table.

5. Select Metric Values for the table. The available options depend on the metric family you selected.

   Each Metric Value that you select represents a column of data that is added to the table.

6. Select a Sort Direction for the metrics in the table. Select Ascending (lowest to highest) or Descending (highest to lowest).

   The Sort Direction affects the order of rows in the table, as well as the data that is included once the Max Rows value is reached.

7. Select a value for Max Rows.

   The Max Rows is the maximum number of rows to include in the table. Each row is represented as one piece of the pie. By default, ten rows are included.

   The Context Settings area shows the group or item context for the view. The option to select another context is not enabled on item context pages.

8. Select the scope of your changes from the Apply Changes drop-down. Select one of the following options:
   • For All Tenant Users: Saves the changes so that they are only available to users associated with your tenant (possibly the Default Tenant).
   • My User Account: Saves the changes to your user account as a default for this view.
   • My Current Session: Reverts the changes when you log out.

   Note: The availability of these options depends on your user account role rights.

9. Click Save.

   The view is refreshed to reflect your updates.
