Whether you track the number of story points in a sprint, the failure rate of a service over the course of a month, or the burn rate of your SLO (Service Level Objective) based Error Budget. One way to view this data is in the form of a Burn Down chart, which indicates how quickly you're completing your work items or the number of failures you allow before violating a contract.
In this session, Andreas (Andi) Grabner @andreas_grabner, DevRel at Dynatrace, shows you the three steps to chart any metric as a Burn Down in a Dynatrace Dashboard using the DQL functions arrayCumulativeSum and iCollectArray.
