Chart settings
HP P6000 Performance Advisor displays performance data collected over the last hour in all the
charts. You can retain the default duration or configure the chart settings to view data for a different
predefined interval. You can also configure the chart settings to view live data samples. In addition,
you have the option to modify the chart settings specifically for a chart by clicking the Edit button
in the chart window when you plot the chart. This section describes the procedure to modify chart
settings that reflect across all the charts plotted in HP P6000 Performance Advisor.
Procedure
To configure default chart settings in an instance of HP P6000 Performance Advisor:
1.
In the Navigation pane, click Settings.
2. From the list, click the plus (+) sign for an HP P6000 Performance Advisor instance.
3. From the list, select Configuration and click the Performance tab in the Content pane.
4. In the Configure HP P6000 Performance Advisor for Monitoring window, click the Charts tab.
5. In the Configure Chart Settings section – Display list, select the duration for which you want
to view data. For more information, see
“Using the Display option” (page 15) .
•
If you selected a predefined interval, proceed to step 7.
•
If you selected Live data from the Display list, the Polling Interval and Duration lists are
enabled. Retain the default Polling Interval and Duration, or select the values from the
lists.
◦ Polling Interval: The duration after which a new data point will appear in the chart
(minimum - 5 seconds, maximum - 30 seconds).
◦ Duration: The duration for which a data point will be visible in the chart (minimum
- 5 minutes, maximum - 60 minutes).
◦ (Optional) Select the Include moving averages in chart check box. Moving average
is supported for only one combination of performance object, controller, and counter.
Then, select the value from the Moving Average Subset Size list. Moving average is
calculated as the average of the initial set of data points. The subset size defines the
number of data points used as a subset for average calculation to move average
series in a chart. Moving averages are used to emphasize the direction of a trend
and to smooth out fluctuations or noise.
Proceed to step 7.
