What the report needs
A saved report with at least one metric and either no groupings or exactly one time grouping (10 minutes, hour, day and so on).
Views
The widget has several views. Switch the view in the widget header while the dashboard is in edit mode; the choice is saved with the dashboard.
Lines
One metric at a time as a filled line. Click a metric chip above the chart to switch, or All metrics to see every metric on one chart. If the report compares periods, the previous period is drawn as a dashed line.
Annotations
A filled area with the average line and marked peaks and dips.
