A Combo chart is used to display a trend line or average line along with the metric values. It can also be used to display multiple metrics using a combination of line & bar charts within a single chart


To create a Combo chart

  • Ensure you are on a dashboard (not created from a template).

  • Click on the menu located in the top-right corner of the screen.

Displaying multiple metrics using a combination of line & bar charts

  • Add a second metric to the gadget and set the type to 'line'.
