not sure there is a bell curve graph available in dynatrace , but you should be able to plot these in a different graph format.

Hey Harsha-Kumara, you could use a categorical bar chart as seen below.

In this example I have 60ish records of varying values between 0-100. On line 5 we then count each one into bins of predefined width. In this example there are 6 requests with response time from 0ms-10ms, 6 requests with response time 10ms-20ms, 8 requests with response time 20ms-30ms and so on. Using this against real data, assuming there is such a distribution in your environment, you'd expect to see a bell curve.

To calculate the value of a specific percentile you can summarize by percentile as seen below.
