Usage Monitor Graph

Select data to be graphed

The usage monitor graph plots the I/O data that you specify. On the graph:

The x-axis indicates time.

The y-axis indicates the number of I/Os during the sampling period.

The legend on the right side shows the data being displayed.

The value on the y-axis varies according to the maximum value of the statistical data appearing
in the graph. If the y-axis value exceeds 10,000,000, the value is shown in exponential notation
(for example, 1E7 = 1 x 10

7

= 10,000,000; 2E8 = 2 x 10

8

= 200,000,000)

).

graph can be viewed only when monitoring is on.
