In the old Data Explorer style charts, you could choose between column or stacked column. With the regular column chart, if you were splitting by multiple dimensions, each split had its own bar chart grouped beside the other dimension values for each time interval. This works well for things like percentage style metrics (CPU Usage, Memory usage, etc...).
With the modern dashboards app, you can only seem to stack charts. This means for percentage-based metrics that are split, you will either get stacks that add up well over 100%, or you can choose relative and get stacks that add up to 100% but only because they're showing relative values and thus they aren't showing the true percentage values (unless you hover over them and look at the tooltip).
I just want regular, old-style, non-stacked columns like this:
I tried using the categorical chart type, but I can't get that to give me time series. That puts the bars besides each other like I want, but it summarizes all the intervals for each dimension into a single value.
Is this just not a feature that's available yet or am I missing something painfully obvious here?
I tried looking through the docs for the modern dashboard app, but I just can't find a solution for this...
