[Feat]: Control precision of summary chart values to make it more meaningful #584

Closed shyamvalsan closed 10 months ago

shyamvalsan commented 2 years ago

Problem

For certain summary charts the precision is too high and this makes them look visually problematic/less appealing

Description

In the above example, the DB size value should be rounded to a precision of maximum 2 decimal point values.

In the case of uptime, the max precision should be seconds - but also the time value should be represented meaningfully as the time increases. For example: Instead of 9 days 12 hours etc.. just show 1.2 weeks. So for any value > 60 minutes a max precision of minutes is sufficient and so on.

Importance

must have

Value proposition

  1. Makes summary overview charts visually appealing and easier to understand

Proposed implementation

Note: Once we have number charts available in the summary the above examples would use them instead of donuts/piecharts.
