Adding a Custom Graph

The custom graph is derived from another view and allows users to display a detailed chart view of a specific statistic from a specific view. The Custom graph is a custom-created view that contains detailed charts based on one or more statistics, at the users' convenience. Statistics can be added to a time or a non-time series custom graph.

The custom graph stops showing statistics in any of the following circumstances:

  • If the parent view stops collecting data
  • If the parent view is removed
  • If a particular statistics that is linked to the custom graph is removed

The advantage of a custom graph is that it can pick specific statistics from another view. This helps in filtering the statistics and analyzing the data. For example, a grid view can have hundreds of statistics or views; the custom graph helps to display the important views from the list. It can also compare two values from the history for further reference.

By using the custom graph, you can:

  • Shelf statistics
  • Predict the most important statistics in the system
  • Create up to 16 views for the different statistical values
  • Organize it differently in different forms, such as window, table, bar chart, pie chart, line chart, and so on.
  • Change the display
  • Group the view to your convenience
