5.3.4.3 Compare
This control is only valid for some Versus Time performance reports and the options available
depend on the report. If the none option is selected, the aggregate performance metrics of
the selected systems and objects are presented versus time. However, instead of the aggregate
-- if you want to compare systems or objects -- select the appropriate Compare option. For
example, if the System option is selected, the performance metrics for each selected system
are plotted separately. An example of this is shown in
The number of objects that can be compared in a report is limited to 16 (the number of distinct
colors available for charts). With some reports, if there are more than 16 objects present then
the Select Peak control (see section
on page 5.25) can be used to select 16
objects to compare.
5.3.4.4 Select Peak
For some reports, when the number of objects to be compared (see section
page 5.25) exceeds 16, the Select Peak control can be used to select which 16 objects to
compare. The Select Peak control is used to select a metric (for example, total_iops) and the
16 objects that have the highest peak in the selected metric in the selected time range are
chosen.
5.3.4.5 Group By
This control is only valid for At Time reports and specifies the X (category) axis for the reports.
The menu options available depend on the report selected and are listed with each report.
One or more Group By options can be selected (use CTRL+CLICK to select multiple options)
and the default if none are selected is System. There is an X axis value for (and/or a table row
for) each unique combination of selected objects that exists in the data table. For example, if
System and Host in the Group By options are selected for the VLUN performance report, a
table row and chart X axis value exists in the report for each System:Host combination that
exists in the VLUN data table as shown in
Figure 5-8. Group By System:Host At Time Report
for a listing of all available options.
