Expressions in time series widgets allow you to display data based on calculations with metrics of your choosing.
In a dashboard, any time series widget (line, spline, area, stacked area) allows you to build expressions from metrics you choose, and show the result of those expressions in a single graph. The following examples use expressions to solve specific problems. In the first example, we want to show Read IOPS as a percentage of Total IOPS for all storage assets in our environment. The second example gives us visibility into the "system" or "overhead" IOPS that occur in our environment—those IOPS that are not from reading or writing data.
