Viewing real-time graphical performance monitor data

You can view real-time graphical performance as a single graph or as a dashboard that shows six graphs on one screen.

A real-time performance monitor graph plots a single performance metric over time for up to five objects. The x-axis of the graph represents time. The y-axis of the graph represents the metric value. When the metric value exceeds 99,999, it displays in thousands (K), beginning with 100K until the number reaches 9999K, at which time it displays in millions (M). For amounts greater than 9999K but less than 100M, the value displays in tenths (for example, 12.3M).

  1. To view the dashboard, in the Array Management Window (AMW), click the Performance tab.
    The Performance tab opens showing six graphs.
  2. To view a single performance graph, in the Array Management Window (AMW), select Monitor > Health > Monitor Performance > Real-time performance monitor > View graphical.
    The View Real-time Graphical Performance Monitor dialog opens.
  3. In the Select metric drop-down list, select the performance data that you want to view.
    You can select only one metric.
  4. In the Select an object(s) list, select the objects for which you want to view performance data. You can select up to five objects to monitor on one graph.
    Use Ctrl-Click and Shift-Click to select multiple objects. Each object is plotted as a separate line on the graph.   
    NOTE: If you do not see a line that you defined on the graph, it might be overlapping another line.
  5. When you are done viewing the performance graph, click Close.
