ViPR SRM: How to graph data grouped on device?

Question

I'm trying to create a high level report that graphs maximum FA IOServiceTime per array, where each array's maximum is shown by an individual line. I am able to create a table report with this information using filters and expansion on device, but when I try to turn this into a graph report I can only generate a graph with either individual lines for each FA, or a combined maximum for all the arrays. I've tried working with spatial aggregation and formulas to achieve the desired result but can't see a way to group the array data (like with an SQL GROUP BY). Another way to explain this is that if I use a 'per children' chart I can get a graph for each array, but I would like to combine all of these onto a single graph. Does anyone have any experience doing this?

In my environment it looks like name=='IOServiceTime' Is only available on (partgrp=='RDF') NOT partgrp=='Front-End' Can you verify this maybe my deployment is different to yours?

If you want one graph with a line per each FA on that single graph, then you should be able to use a 'children-based chart'.

In Report Configuration, Make 'sampling period' not using realtime tables and make 'sampling type' = 'max'

The attached report definition can be imported to demonstrate what you are looking for but using name='CurrentUtilization'

Thanks for the reply Brent!

You're right, I'm actually after the RA data. I can get a graph with one line per director but what I'm really after is a higher level view showing one line per array.

I've since figured out that a stacked chart will do this, but this isn't very handy in easily identifying rdf links that have exceeded a threshold (per array).

It's starting to look like what I'm trying to do isn't possible, which is a shame because in sql it would be so easy!
