   1. The line chart visualizes changes and peak values of metrics over time. Configure the parameters by referring to Table 1.

      Table 1 Parameters in Monitoring Item Configuration

      Item	Parameter	Description
      Metric Display	One graph for a single metric	One or more graphs can be generated, and each shows only one same metric.
      	One graph for multiple metrics	One graph with multiple metrics is generated.
      Monitoring Scope	Select Resource and Metric	Select resources and metrics to be displayed in the line chart. For details about resource metrics, see Services Interconnected with Cloud Eye. NOTE: If you select One graph for a single metric for Metric Display, you can select up to 24 metrics. If you select One graph for multiple metrics for Metric Display, the product of the number of resources and the number of metrics cannot exceed 50.
      Advanced Settings	Graph Name	The graph name is displayed on the metric change curve. Default format: Monitored object-Dimension: Metric
      	Threshold	Configure a threshold to generate an auxiliary line. Data points higher than the line are highlighted in red.
      	Resource Type	Specifies the type of the resource to be monitored.
      	Dimension	Specifies the metric dimension.
      	Metric	Specifies the metric name.

   2. The bar chart visualizes the metrics of top-ranked resources of the same type. Configure the parameters by referring to Table 2.

      Table 2 Parameters in Monitoring Item Configuration

      Item	Parameter	Description
      Metric Display	One graph for a single metric	One or more graphs can be generated, and each shows only one same metric.
      Monitoring Scope	Select Resource and Metric	By default, all resources are selected for the bar chart. For details about resource metrics, see Services Interconnected with Cloud Eye.
      Quantity	-	Metric data of selected resources is displayed. You can display the top 3 to 10 resources, in ascending or descending order. By default, metric data of top 3 instances are displayed in ascending order.
      Advanced Settings	Graph Name	The graph name is displayed on the metric change curve. Default format: Monitored object-Dimension: Metric
      	Threshold	Configure a threshold to generate an auxiliary line. Data points higher than the line are highlighted in red.
      	Resource Type	Specifies the type of the resource to be monitored.
      	Dimension	Specifies the metric dimension.
      	Metric	Specifies the metric name.

5. Click OK.
