Data#

Requirements#

The Sierra Plot panel expects time series data frames, meaning each series must contain at least on field with time type (if multiple such fields exist, the first one will be used)
The data must also contain at least one field with type number to be used as the Amplitude
At least one field of type string is also required, to be used ad the Chart Breakdown

For example, let's assume that we want to plot the number of requests hitting a number of different servers
Each server is located in some region
Our request count metric is calculated separately for type=OK and type=ERROR

For the above example, our data will contain a time field, a number field that represents the number of requests, and a string field representing the server name

The following (optional) fields can also be used:

Use Type Description Example
Group Breakdown string Group charts with the same group value region
Series Breakdown string Split the charts' data according to the series values type
Weight number Used for weighted average calculations total requests

Notes#

  • Sierra Plot expects that each data frame has the same fields
  • Sierra Plot expects that each data frame be of the same length
  • Sierra Plot doesn't currently support null values
