Add Graph

To add a graph to your current view use the "add graph" button in the Monitor. Each graph can display up to 12 counters. Select a counter to display by choosing:

• Appliance - the name of the appliance you are monitoring
• Entity - the counter group that the desired counter is (for example, Filesystem, CPU Summary, Memory statistics)
• Counters - the name of the counter to add

Add a counter to the graph

To add a counter to the graph, double-click the name in the Counters select box or select the name and click the right arrow between Counters and Selected Counter.

Delete a counter

To delete a counter, select the counter from the Selected Counter box and click the left arrow or double-click the counter name in Selected Counter.

Change the color of a counter

Each counter has its own color and you can change the color.

To change the color of a counter, select the counter in Selected Counter and select a color from the color drop-down on the right.
The actual look of the graph as it will be shown in your view can be seen in the Preview section. Each change you make to the graph is immediately propagated to the Preview.

In the Graph Preferences section you can specify the following properties:

• size - specifies the size of the graphs. It is a good practice to use medium or large sized graph when displaying more than one counter per graph.
• pace - specify the pace at which the counter is updated. The larger the pace, the more history you see (and the less accurate the graph is)
• alarm - specify minimum and maximum values for the counters. When a counter is outside the given limits an alarm is displayed at the upper left corner of the graph
• scale - specify the scale of the graph; leave blank for auto-scaling (the scale will change if with the displayed values)
• legend - enable graph legend - shows current value for each counter and its name (it can be customized). The legend can be shown in 1, 2, 4 and 8 columns depending on the graph size
• timeline (checkbox) - shows the timeline along the horizontal axis
• scale (checkbox) - shows the scale along the vertical axis
