Pie
Show how a total splits into groups
A pie chart shows how a total is split between groups, for example the share of servers on each platform. It works best with a handful of groups.
Building a pie chart
- Easy mode: pick a Breakdown. Each group becomes a slice. Use Top n values and Group the rest as Other to keep the number of slices small.
- Canvas mode: add a Group By node before the Output node.
Without a breakdown, each series becomes its own slice instead.

Drilling down
If the Output node uses Nest by, for example to split java/17 into java and 17, slices are grouped by the first part. Click a slice to see the values inside it, and use the back button to return to all categories. See Output settings.
