Stacked Area Chart Report

The stacked area chart report returns data for each property as a separate shaded area in a graph, similar to the area chart report. But unlike the area chart report, data is not hidden when shaded area charts overlay each other. Instead, each property requested in the report has its own color-shaded graph. These graphs are stacked against each other. The legend at the bottom of the report associates each color with the corresponding property. The distinctive icon for this report is two shaded reports overlaid, or stacked upon each other.

This type of report is good for analysis of system status because all the requested properties are displayed. If the requested number of properties is high, however, this type of report can yield a busy-looking report. If you require only a visual representation of overall trends, you might want to request an area chart report instead.
