The Periodic Met vs. Exceeded SLA Chart gadget visually represents SLA performance using a bar chart, categorized by status. The horizontal axis displays dates within a selected time period, either weekly or monthly.

This guide will walk you through the steps to add and configure the Periodic Met vs. Exceeded SLA Chart gadget on your Jira dashboard.

## What this gadget displays

- **SLA instances**: This gadget counts SLA instances, not issues. If an issue has multiple SLAs, each is counted separately. If an issue has multiple SLAs, all are included in the count.
- **Time period comparison**: You can track SLAs met vs. exceeded over time.

> ✅ **Need to track issues instead of SLA instances?**
> ✅ 
> ✅ Use the **[Periodic Met vs. Exceeded Issue gadget](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TTS/pages/46432668)** to see the number of issues in each SLA indicator status.
