To add a Jira chart macro:
When editing, select from the toolbar
Find the macro by name and select it
Configure it as needed
You can also type / on the page to bring up the same list you'd see by selecting from the toolbar. Continue typing the name of the macro to filter the list.

For example you could use the chart to show issue types by status (as shown above).

Y Axis - the issue field to display on the Y axis (rows).
Rows to display - the maximum number to display in the chart.
Disabling the Jira Chart macro
The functionality is provided by an add-on (plugin) called 'Jira Macros'. This macro is also used for the Jira Issues macro. To make the macro unavailable on your site, you can disable the add-on. See Disabling and enabling apps.
Authentication — If the query includes issues that require authentication (issues that are not visible to anonymous users in Jira), users will be prompted to authenticate to view charts on the Confluence page.
