VMware Clustered Column Charts

Clustered column charts allow you to compare values across one or more categories.

Series fields in clustered column charts are shown as unique values presented in the chart legend. Data fields are organized along the vertical axis and shown as columns. Category fields are organized along the horizontal axis and shown as groups of columns.

Example

Create a chart that displays connectivity state of VMs on ESX(i) hosts – that is, the number of connected, disconnected, invalid and orphaned VMs on every host.

The chart will visualize data from a simple report created on the basis of the Custom Infrastructure report template with the following report settings:

• Object type: Virtual Machine
• Report columns: Name, Host system, Connection state.

• Select Host System as the Series fields value.
• Select Host system as the Category fields value.
