I was wondering if there is any way through with we can generate graphs per hosts ( each host having different chart.

I need to have a report per server for performance stats in a more presentable manner and currently using sparkline format as below and sparkline formated to a line.

        <table>
     <option name="count">1000</option>
    <title> Performance Summary</title>
    <searchTemplate>            
         eventtype="windows_performance" host=* object="Processor" counter="% Processor Time"|rename Value AS CPU  | append[search eventtype="windows_performance" host=* object="LogicalDisk" counter="% Free Space"  instance="*"|rename Value AS Disk]| append[search eventtype="windows_performance" host=* object="Memory" counter="% Committed Bytes In Use"|rename Value AS Memory]|  stats sparkline(avg(CPU)) as CPU, sparkline(avg(Disk)) as Disk,sparkline(avg(Memory)) as Memory by host | sort by host ASC
    </searchTemplate>
     <format field="host" type="text">
     <option name="fontSize">14</option>    
  </format>            
    <format field="CPU" type="sparkline">
    <option name="type">line</option>
    <option name="height">100</option>    
    <option name="width">300</option>    
    <option name="lineWidth">2</option>    
  </format>
    <format field="Disk" type="sparkline">
    <option name="type">line</option>
    <option name="height">100</option>    
    <option name="width">300</option>    
    <option name="lineWidth">2</option> 
    <option name="lineColor">green</option> 

  </format>
    <format field="Memory" type="sparkline">
    <option name="type">line</option>
    <option name="height">100</option>    
    <option name="width">300</option>    
    <option name="lineWidth">2</option> 
    <option name="lineColor">red</option> 
  </format

Any help on this ??

Thanks

I have the same issue. It would be very nice with the possibility of directly changing the fontsize of things like axis ticks, titles, legend, etc. Other option I guess to use API or setup pdf report with pretty formatted graphs. But that seems like a lot of extra work.

I actually want to show the performance stats with respect to time, that's why I want to create a timechart for every host.
