Graph Description

The dashboard displays the query and analysis results of metric, log, data in graphs (such as line/digit/status graphs).

Metric Data Graphs

Metric data graphs support the following types: line, number, top N, table, bar, and digital line graphs.

  • Line graph: used to analyze the data change trend in a certain period. Use this type of graph when you need to monitor the metric data trend of one or more resources within a period.

    You can use a line graph to compare the same metric of different resources. The following figure shows the CPU usage of different hosts.

    Parameter

    Description

    Show Miniature

    After this function is enabled, the icon will be zoomed out based on a certain proportion. Also, a line graph is added.

  • Top N: The statistical unit is a cluster and statistical objects are resources such as hosts, components, or instances in the cluster. The top N graph displays top N resources in a cluster. By default, top 5 resources are displayed.

    To view the top N resources, add a top N graph to the dashboard. You only need to select resources and metrics, for example, host CPU usage. AOM then automatically singles out top N hosts for display. If the number of resources is less than N, actual resources are displayed.

    In the following graph, the top 5 hosts with the highest CPU usage are displayed.

    Pie Chart

    Pie Chart Type

    Options: Pie, Cyclic, and Coxcomb.

    • Pie

      A pie chart displays the proportion of each part. It divides a circle into different sectors. The area (or arc length and central angle) of each sector corresponds to the proportion of each part. In this way, the relationship between each part and the whole is intuitively displayed.

    • Cyclic

      Essentially, a cyclic chart hollows out the center of a pie chart. Cyclic charts are better than pie charts in the following aspects:

      • Cyclic charts display more information such as the total number.
      • It is not intuitive to compare two pie charts directly. You can compare two cyclic charts by the cyclic bar length.
    • Coxcomb

      A Coxcomb chart is not a cyclic chart in essence. Instead, it is a bar chart drawn in the polar coordinate system. Each category is evenly divided by an arc. The radius of the arc indicates the data size. Coxcomb charts are better than pie charts in the following aspects:

      • A pie chart can contain a maximum of 10 categorized data records, while a Coxcomb chart can contain 10 to 30 data records.
      • Because the radius and area are squared, a Coxcomb chart magnifies the difference between the values of each category. It is suitable for comparing the values of similar sizes.
      • Due to the periodicity of a circle, a Coxcomb chart is also suitable for displaying data by period, such as by week and month.

    Show Scale

    After this function is enabled, text labels are displayed on the pie chart to describe data details, such as the value and name.

    Scale Text

    Options: Category, Percent, Category: %, and Category: Value (%).
