Gauge name properties The name of this panel. |
Instructions Modify one or more properties of a gauge definition. |
Type Select the type of gauge: Performance (default) or Exception |
Device The device or device component that is associated
with the gauge. This field displays all device IDs that are part of the task
context (default) or that have performance data available. The following information
is also shown in addition to the device IDs:
- The date-range of available performance data
- Information regarding whether this device is currently collecting performance
data
|
Name The name assigned to the gauge when it was created. |
Description A description of the gauge. |
Component-level selection
tree The selection tree structure is based on the
device that you select. The selection tree displays the hierarchical relationship
between the storage devices. Each managed object is displayed, followed by
icons for each individual object.
This field is disabled for exception gauges. |
Metrics For performance gauges, when you select a component
level in the tree, the available metrics for the selected component level
appear in this table. You can select one or more metrics to include in the
gauge definition, but you are limited in those selections. You can select
only metrics that share the same y-axis values (on the display). The Unit
column in the metrics table helps you identify which of the metrics share
y-axis units. If you select metrics with different units, an error message
is displayed stating that a gauge can only contain multiple metrics when the
metrics have the same units.
For exception gauges, the metrics table is
disabled. |
Device components For performance gauges, this table displays pertinent
information about a device component. This table is based on the component
level you selected in the tree. Each component table contains the component
ID and other descriptive information about the component. You can make only
a single selection from this table. |
Current performance
data For performance gauges, when you select this
option, the current performance data is displayed in the gauge.
For exception
gauges, this option is disabled. |
Samples Specify the number of sample intervals
you want to see on the gauge display. This field is enabled only when you
select Current performance data. |
Past performance
data For performance gauges, when you select this
option, the date and time fields are activated. You can specify time ranges
for past performance data.
For exception gauges, this option is selected
by default, but only the date field is activated. |
Date Specify the start and end dates of the
period for which you want to view performance data. Data will be collected for the
interval specified in the Time field on each day
you specify using this field. |
Time For performance gauges, specify the start and
end times for each day for which you want to view performance data. Data will be
collected for this interval on each day specified in the Date field.
For
exception gauges, this field is disabled. |
Display gauge Select this check box if you want to display
the gauge when you click OK. The check box is checked
by default. |
OK When you click OK, you
save the selections made on this panel. The panel closes and you are returned
to the Performance gauges panel. The list is updated to include the newly
created gauge. If you selected the Display gauge check
box, the newly created gauge is displayed. |
