Dashboards now support “compare against”!

We introduced the “compare against” feature to Dashboards for you to quickly see how current values compare against a previous point in time i.e. compare this hour to the same hour a day ago. This will enable you to compare your charts to a specific time and see if it's behaving differently or not.
