The new Charting portlet provides an improved and enhanced experience when charting performance and metrics in the Dashboard. The Charting portlet provides the following functionality:

Customize your chart from a convenient view-side options. Optionally, hide the options panel when publishing to a public dashboard display.
Set up a configuration using a regular expression to use when driving the portlet (select an element in another portlet to dynamically update the chart when matching metrics are available).
