    Hi @Archana, I think we do what you're looking for, but the feature is sort of hidden.

    Open the expanded graph, then expand the instances pane at the bottom.

    On the right side of the instance pane, there's another downward pointing arrow. If you click on that arrow and select "Show Boundaries' you'll see min/max/avg for each instance for the selected time range.

     

     

    You may have to aggregate instances into one to get the average across multiple instances.

Hi @neil.white@radian.co.uk,

You have tried with Graph representation. That is even working for me without any issues. I can get the average value of my CPU in a graph format for every 'x' span of time.

But my requirement is I need the cumulative average value of my CPU for a whole month (something like average of all the CPU values for the whole month in one single value).

I am aware that, to display one single value, we have the widget called 'Big Number'. But the problem is when I select the time period as per my requirement, there is no impact in the data values displayed over the Widget.

Not sure how to achieve this and not aware which period of data the Big Number Widget consider and present us.

Any idea on this please?
