Viewing a Graph

After you add a graph, you can view metrics and events on the Dashboards page. The system provides you both default and customizable time ranges to view trends from last month. This topic describes how to view trends for a longer time range.

Procedure

Log in to the management console.
Choose Service List > Cloud Eye.
In the navigation pane, choose Dashboards > Dashboards.
You can view all graphs on the current dashboard.
- You can sort graphs by dragging them.
- You can click 1h, 3h, 12h, 1d, or 7d in the upper part of graphs to switch the monitoring periods of all graphs on the dashboard. By default, raw metric data is displayed for 1h, and the aggregated metric data is displayed for other periods.
Hover your mouse over a graph. In the upper right corner, click to view monitoring details on an enlarged graph. You can select a period or customize a time range to view the metric trend in a specific monitoring interval.
Raw metric data is displayed for 1h, 3h, 12h, and 1d by default. For 7d and 30d, rolled-up data is displayed by default.

Customizing a Time Range to View the Graph

Selecting Monitoring Objects and Viewing Metrics

To compare the same metric of multiple resources, you can combine the metrics of the resources into a graph. When there are a large number of resources, you can drag to select monitored objects if you want to compare the metric data of only some of the resources.

To select a monitored object, click the second icon on the right. Drag the mouse on part of the curve of the monitored objects. Then, the system automatically displays the data of the selected monitored objects and hides the monitoring data of other monitored objects.
