Creating Graphs

To make performance monitoring fast and easy, Device Manager tracks and graphs a wide range of statistics for the Device Manager objects. Statistics are maintained for the chassis and each port. For information about the statistics tracked for the chassis and ports, refer to the next chapter << insert >>.

This section describes the general procedure for creating graphs for objects, the graph screens, and the types of graphs available.

To create a graph for an object:

1. Select the object or objects to be graphed (see "Selecting Objects").
2. Open the graph window using one of the following methods:

· On the toolbar, click Graph Component.



· From the shortcut menu for the object, choose Graph.

· From the main menu, choose Graph > Chassis or Graph > Port.

3. Select a tab for the group of statistics you want to view.
4. On the displayed data table, select columns or rows to graph.
5. Click one of the graph buttons at the bottom of the window (see "Creating a Graph").
