Working with Charts

Use charts to plot and monitor counters or groups of counters. You can include up to four charts in one report. In each chart, you can plot up to 32 counters. The charts can use different graphical formats (for example, area and bar). You can move the charts up or down within the report, customize the colors and visual display for each counter in a chart, and delete a chart when you do not want to monitor it.

In all report charts, the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents the value of the counter.

Adding a Chart

When you add a chart to a report, the System Overview chart appears with the CPU Usage counter plotted for the last one day. To plot a different group of statistics or select a different counter, see Modifying a Chart on page 188.

Note: If you add charts to a built-in report, and you want to retain the report, you must save the report as a custom report.
