To modify a sensor:

1.Select the sensor to modify from the Sensors list and click Modify.

2.Enter a label in the Label field. This label can be up to 64 characters, and identifies the sensor in the Sensor Data pane, Advanced View interfaces, and in alert notifications.

3.From Sensor Value History, select the amount of time that data reported by this sensor is stored on the appliance. The amount of data available on the appliance affects the maximum amount of data that can be graphed.

For more information see “Viewing Graphs” on page 27.
