Line chart - display historical data based on entities
in progress
Dudi - Port team
We would like to add the ability for the line chart to aggregate and display entities' history over time, in addition to the existing capability to display the history of a single property.
For example, this will allow ingesting into Port an entity for each deployment and display the amount of weekly/monthly deployments in the line chart.

Historical data ingestion into port and allow visualization of that data

It could be useful to use Port to visualize historical data. One example is if we have Dora metrics and tracked in a different tool already.
It could be great migrating the data data to Port and utilize visualizations like a line chart.

I think this is absolutely essential. Not only for the reasons already stated but also due to the fact an IDP will have blueprints and properties added frequently as new use cases, tools and visualisations get added. Most often than not, Platform teams will identify a gap they want to close with the IDP, e.g. better reporting/tracking on incidents, and if there's no way to considering some historical data (at least comparing with previous quarter for example) then it severely addresses the value of the IDP.

Luis Silva: Hi Luis, we are currently working on improvements to the line chart widget that will allow you to aggregate and display entities' history over time. So, for example, you will be able to ingest your incidents into Port and create a line chart based on them, without needing to create an aggregation property for the "number of incidents" and wait for the historical data to accumulate.
We already have another item opened on this subject, so I will merge this one with it so you will be updated on the progress of the feature. Please let me know if you have any questions/feedback regarding this 🙂
