Customizing the Chart

Customize the chart to change chart settings and chart refresh (monitor GUI heartbeat) rate.

To change chart settings and chart refresh (monitor GUI heartbeat) rate:

  1. Right-click in the performance monitor chart area and select Customize Chart.
    Change any of these components:
    • Time Window – appears only if the chart is a Time Series chart. Specify the period of time during which the data tracked to produce chart statistics. The minimum value is 1 minute. The maximum value is 240 minutes (4 hours).

    • Chart Refresh Rate – specify how often, in seconds, the data in the chart is refreshed. The chart refresh rate also shows at the bottom of the Performance Monitor panel.

    • Real vs. Normalized Value – Real Value (the default) reflects actual data. Normalized Value scales chart data into a fixed range. This option is for display purposes only, so that statistics with different ranges display better in one chart.

    • Legend – select to display or hide the legend.

  2. To save any changes, click OK.
