Star Plot in visualization Dashboard

[MrLawr3nce]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The kind of graph used in Dashboard/Visualization is useful but it does not covey the info it retains in a way that's as efficient as it could.

Describe the solution you'd like
To be able to toggle with an alternative visualization of a star plot would be clearer.
Furthermore to be able to select the VMs to show (all, some tags or specific vms) would greatly help, especially if there is many.

Additional context
Thanks, you guys rock!

Thanks for your feedback, it will be useful for XO 6!

Thanks for the suggestion :) Could you describe a bit more what the graph looks like in your mind? Would it show the same info as in Dashboard/Visualization? CPUs/RAM/disk/...?

And where would that graph be? In the general dashboard? Or in the pool/host's dashboard?

How would you select the VMs? You'd need to be able to select many VMs at once, like all the VMs of a pool.

Hello, thank you fot the shown interest in my suggestion.

The idea came to mind because of the parameters chose to be shown and by the fact that are normalized in height. The star plot would use exactly the same axis and data, just arranged graphically in a different way, I am attaching an image as reference.

Yes, I belive that the same page would be befitting. If you like they could replace the current visualization or maybe toggle it so the user chooses what likes the best.
If there are few vms like in my case it doesn't really matter, but with many vms the graph gets crowded and messy quickly becoming hardly legible.
In order to compare vms selecting a whole pool at once would be great, but maybe not enough if there is many vms. Using tags to group vms could also be a viable option, while selecting the singularly might not be too convinient.

These are just my thoughts, so they might not apply to everyone.

Cheers,
