To combine time series, use the menus on theAggregationelement.
For example, to display the CPU utilization for your VMs, based on their zone, set the
first menu toMeanand the second menu tozone.
All time series are displayed when the first menu of theAggregationelement is set
toUnaggregated. The default settings for theAggregationelement
are determined by the metric type you selected.
