    Status: Open => Answered

chrismd proposed the following answer:
The dashboard (in 0.9.9) supports all of the same functions as the
composer, left-click a graph for the menus of options and functions. You
can put multiple metrics in a single graph on the dashboard in two
different ways.

First off you can simply drag'n'drop one graph onto another to combine
them into one graph. The default drag'n'drop behavior is to move the
graph but if you hover for a moment over the target graph it will switch
to merge mode. So drag-hover-drop.

If you have a lot of metrics to work with, you should switch to
'Completer' mode (under Dashboard menu, Configure UI). I am going to
make this the default in the next release because it is so much better
than the tree. You just type in metric paths, you can use * to match
multiple results (hitting alt-enter will add all the resulting graphs to
the dashboard, alt-backspace removes them) but since a graph gets
created for each result, you'd have to do a ton of drag'n'drop which is
no fun. So you can use \* to preserve the wildcard in the results, this
effectively functions as a "group by" operator by creating a graph that
uses the wildcard rather than the wildcard resulting in many graphs.
