Need help with Performance Analytics

Lisa Conn

I am trying to create a stacked bar chart that shows a count of configuration items over a period of time that looks something like this:

From what I understand, this cannot be done with reporting tools and must be done with Performance Analytics.

I have created an Indicator Source with the facts table using a table extended from cmdb_ci, using standard calendar, valid for frequency as Monthly, with conditions based on owned by group and Created on This month

I have created an automated indicator using this indicator source with Unit of “#”, aggregate = count, additional condition of “Status is not Retired”

I have created a Breakdown source based on the CI type

I have created an automated Breakdown linked to the breakdown source and mapped to the automated indicator

I have created a Data collector job to collect historical with relative start 4 months ago linked to the automated indicator

When I execute the job, it runs without errors

When I check the Scoresheet, it shows what I assume is the expected data

I have created a widget to visualize the data as type “time series” on a column chart

But when I add the widget to a dashboard, it comes up blank

Can anyone tell where I went wrong in the configuration?

Hi @Lisa Conn ,

 

According to your requirement, you need to create a widget for every type mentioned to create the stacked bar chart. If you see your below widget configuration: 

 

AndersSkovbjer_0-1672423591439.png

Which actually refers that, Breakdown type = Unmatched doo to you have not selected anything in the breakdown element.

 

So to resolve your requirement, main widget should contain breakdown by type with element = item1(Your first type). Rest of the configurations should be done as Widget Indicators and not separate widgets. 

 

if my answer helped towards a resolution, please mark answer as correct.

 

Best regards
