Adding Chart Servers

Describes how to add a chart server.

Note: You can only add a chart server if the respective chart server service is installed on the computer you want to add to the list of available chart servers. For more information, refer to the installation instructions of Performance Manager.

To add a new chart server:

  1. In the menu, click Administration > System .
  2. Click Chart Servers.
  3. If a chart server was installed with the application server on the same computer, Setup will have already defined localhost as the chart server.
  4. Click New Chart Server. The Configure chart server page displays.
  5. On this page you are asked to specify the hostname or IP address, the port, and the URL where the charting service has been installed. The only change you will have to make to the default settings is the name of the computer on which the server is located. The default port is 19126 and the default URL is ChartServer.
  6. Click Check to establish a test connection to the chart server. The Chart Server Check dialog box appears.
    Note: If the test is successful, a test image appears. If the test fails, an error message appears. Check the entered data and verify that a chart server is installed on the target machine.
  7. Click Back to return to the chart server configuration. If the test connection was successful, check the status check box and click Save.
  8. You will be returned to the list of chart servers, which now includes the chart server you have just added.

You can click New Chart Server to add more chart servers.
