Figure 127 Displaying Thresholds for Live Graph With Below-Threshold Values (Forcing display of Thresholds and Not Forcing display of Thresholds)

If a graph does include values that are near or exceed the high threshold, then both thresholds will already be visible on the graph. Enabling or disabling this option in this case will have no effect on the graph.

Regardless of whether the option is enabled or not, the graphed line that shows the historical monitor state is also color-coded to show the state of the monitor throughout its history: green for those times when it was normal (i.e. below the warning threshold), yellow for warning and red for high.

Threshold lines are not displayed for bi-state monitors.However, these monitors still color-code the graphed line to represent the state: green for the good state and red for the bad state. For example:
