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 (Line/Digit/Top N/Table/Bar/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.
