Bar GraphBar (area) graphs are similar to level graphs but include a light brown

shading below the line. These are used to plot the values of an attribute that has a “quantity” value (such as Service Load, a percent-

age). The changes in the value are plotted in “bins” at regular intervals over time.

State Graph

State graphs are similar to level graphs but the transition is discontinu- ous; that is, the value jumps from one state (value) to another. These

are used to plot values that represent distinct states (such as a service State, that can be online, standby, or offline). The changes in the value

appear as distinct horizontal lines at predefined levels on the chart.Text Reports

Text reports present the data in a simple table with the date and time in the first column and the attribute values in the second column. They give the basic data in a simple format without any of the additional overview information provided in a chart report.
