A Size chart displays a single numeric value that represents a quantity, capacity, or data volume. It automatically formats values into human-readable units.

It’s designed to show values like:

• Data volume (GB, TB, PB)

• Storage capacity

• Byte counts

• Large numbers (millions, billions)

What a Size chart represents

The Size tile shows:

Data type

This defines what kind of number your metric represents. It controls how the system scales and formats the value.

Available types:

• Storage capacity

• Number

• Bytes

• KB

• MB

• GB

• TB

• PB

Key rules:

• Size uses one numeric value.

• Data type must match the raw metric unit.

• The system auto-converts:

  • Bytes → KB → MB → GB → TB → PB

  • Numbers → K → M → B

• No manual unit math required.

When to use Size

Use Size when your metric represents:

• Data volume

• Storage

• Throughput

• Any large numeric quantity

It’s perfect for daily GB ingested, log volume, disk usage, traffic size, and usage metrics.
