Generate Custom Graphs

The Custom graph type behaves differently than all other graph types because to control the graph data, you must specify one metric and up to six data items or up to six metrics and one data item.

You can use metrics from one of the following groups for a custom graph:

• System metrics
• Process metrics, selected by user name, image name or workload name
• Disk device metrics, selected by device name or volume name
• Processor mode metrics, selected by processor ID
• HSC metrics, selected by HSC node name
• SCS metrics, selected by SCS cluster node name
• Rule metrics (for archived data only), selected by rule ID
• HSC channel metrics, selected by HSC channel name
• File metrics, selected by file name
• Process Disk Volume I/O Rates, selected by user name and volume name, or image name and volume name

These metrics are described in the chapter Performance Manager Commands.

You can specify the metrics and data items by one of the following methods:

• DCL command
• Interactive prompting

The units that the various metrics represent may differ, for example, I/Os per second or percentage of CPU time. The Performance Manager allows you to include data with different metrics on the same graph. Use your discretion when doing this, however.
