Creating Monitor Charts

Monitor charts are useful for providing a graphical overview of the state of a system.

  1. On the Real-Time Monitoring tab, in the New group, click Monitor Chart.
  2. Drag measures from the Monitor tree onto the chart.
  3. Right-click a measure in the measure list and click Properties.
  4. On the General tab, you can adapt the caption and description.
  5. On the Monitor tab, you can adapt monitor and view options: The Interval defines the refresh rate for retrieving new values. The Page size defines how many intervals display on each page. The History size defines how many intervals are stored in the chart history.
  6. Click OK.
Tip: You can also create a Transaction Rate Monitor. Performance Explorer will automatically populate this chart with transaction measures. Make sure to Enable real-time measures on the Workload Configuration dialog before you start monitoring.
