View Service Details in the Graph View

The Service Profiler Graph View pane contains navigation tools that let you view specific graphic elements in the service. A legend is included to identify the elements. Depending on the element type, you can double-click or point to an element to display details about it.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Service Profiler, use the following buttons on the Service Profiler Graph View pane to isolate elements with details you want to view:

   Select

   Switches to the selection tool from the selected mode. The Select tool is active by default.

   Pan

   Lets you drag-and-drop the graph view to reposition the view in the main pane. The Pan tool does not change magnification.

   Marquee Zoom

   Lets you magnify a specific area of the graph by drawing a rectangle around the area to magnify.

   Interactive Zoom

   Lets you increase or decrease the magnification to show greater detail (fewer elements) or less detail (more elements).

   • To zoom in (that is, to increase the magnification), click an outer edge of the graph and drag toward the center.
   • To zoom out (that is, to decrease the magnification), click the center of the graph and drag toward the outer edge.

   Fit

   Increases or decreases the magnification to display the entire graph in the pane.

   Tree Layout

   Displays graph elements in a hierarchical tree layout. The layout attempts to show the flow of elements (for example, from top to bottom) and arranges similar elements in levels (that is, horizontal rows).

   Symmetric Layout

   Arranges the elements in a graph using quadrilateral symmetry (that is, it divides elements equally on both the horizontal and vertical axes).

   Orthogonal Layout

   Arranges the elements in a graph orthogonally (that is, at right angles to other elements).

   Circular Layout

   Determines the relationship of the elements in a graph, then arranges them in separate circles. The circles are then arranged in a radial tree layout.

   Print

   Prints the current graph view.

   Print Preview

   Displays a preview of the current graph as it will appear when printed.

   Print Settings

   Displays the Print Setup dialog so you can configure printer settings.

   Save As Image

   Displays the Save As Image dialog so you can save the current view to a graphic file.

   Display Edge Labels

   Displays text labels over the connecting lines that represent relationships.

    Expand Nodes

   Collapse Nodes

   Expands or collapses all nodes in the graph elements depending on the current setting.

   • If the nodes are currently expanded, the button displays the collapse node icon
   • If the nodes are currently collapsed, the button displays the expand node icon

   Note: To use the Select tool to expand or collapse individual nodes, click the appropriate button next to an element in the Graph View pane.

2. Do one or more of the following tasks:
   • Point to an arrow between elements to display relationship details about the elements that the arrow connects.
   • Point to an application icon to display details about the application.
   • Click an application icon to display a navigation icon. To display the child element of the application (for example, the server that hosts it), double-click the navigation icon. To return to the previous view, right-click the server icon and select Go To Parent.
   • To display the filter that created the current graph, right-click an application icon. You can edit the filter if you want to change the contents of the graph.
   • To expand all nodes, click the Expand Nodes button above the graph.
   • To expand a specific node, double-click an individual node icon in the graph.
   • To display server details (including the assigned Management Profile, status IP address, operating system, and so on), point to a server icon .
   • To display relationship details, right-click a server icon.
