Viewing a Chart

You can specify the graphical formats of the plotted counters in a chart. Charts can be viewed as line charts, spline charts, step-line charts, scatter charts, area charts, bar charts, stacked area charts, and stacked bar charts. You can also zoom in, zoom out, or scroll inside the plot area of a chart. You can zoom in or out for all data sources for 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, and 3 years.

Other options for customizing the view of a chart include customizing the axes of the charts, changing the background and edge color of the plot area, customizing the color and size of the grids, and customizing the display of each data set (counter) in a chart.

Data set numbers, such as Data Set 1, correspond to the order in which the counters in your graph are displayed at the bottom of the chart. For example, if CPU usage and Memory usage are displayed in first and second order at the bottom of the chart, CPU usage is equal to Data Set 1 and Memory usage is equal to Data Set 2.

Whenever you modify a built-in report, you need to save the report as a custom report to retain your changes.
