Select Trend Chart View Settings

To use a generic trend chart, select the settings that determine the data that is included in the view. You can select a metric family for reporting and the individual metrics that are included in the chart. You can also select a new title for the view.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Options (gear) icon on the view, and select Edit from the menu.

    The view Settings dialog opens.

  2. Change the view Title or Subtitle to reflect the modified view. The Subtitle is already selected if the view appears on an item context page.
  3. Select a Metric Family to display in the view.

    For example, select the 'CPU' metric family to see CPU statistics.

  4. Select Metric Values for the trend chart. The available options depend on the metric family you selected.

    Each Metric Value you select represents data that is added to the view and receives a trend line in the chart.

  5. Select a Resolution option.

    The Resolution is the amount of time that each data point in the chart represents.

    The Context Settings area shows the group or item context for the view. The option to select another context is not enabled on item context pages.

  6. Select the scope of your changes from the Apply Changes drop-down. Select one of the following options:

  7. Click Save.

    The view is refreshed to reflect your updates.
