# Selecting Objects to Chart

By default, all performance charts display data for an infrastructure object selected in the inventory pane. You can also choose to display performance data on charts for:

- Child components or objects of the selected virtual infrastructure object (for example, all hosts in the cluster)
- Child VMs for the selected virtual infrastructure object or segment

To display performance data for direct children of the selected virtual infrastructure object:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

   For details, see [Accessing Veeam ONE Components](access.md).

2. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click **Virtual Infrastructure**.
3. In the inventory pane, select the necessary infrastructure object.
4. Open the necessary performance chart tab.
5. From the **Chart options** list, select *Custom*.
6. In the **Customize Chart Options** window, choose **Show performance data for these child objects**.
7. Select check boxes next to child objects that should be included in the chart scope.
8. Click **OK**.
