The graph view displays a graph of variations and trends in system resource usage. The graph plots the time frame on the horizontal axis and the metric values on the vertical axis. Customize the view using the menus, toolbar, and date-range slider to select metrics and date ranges.
The following list describes the features in this view:
- Selection Menus
- Shows the selections that define the metric currently being displayed. You can change the metric by changing the selections.
- Toolbar
- Contains the time frame list. Select a time frame from the list to change the graph. The time frame start and end dates are displayed on the toolbar next to the time frame buttons. Export creates a .csv file containing selected data.
- Date-Range Slider
- Controls the amount of historical data displayed in the view and adjusts to display from 7 days to approximately 4 months of historical data. Dates outside the date-range slider timeline are shaded lighter. The darker-shaded area between the slider handles represents the current date range being displayed.
- Line Graph
- Shows the numerical value of metric on the vertical axis. Mouse over a number and drag it up or down to expand or compress the vertical scale.
- Plot Line
