Key Metric settings

HP P6000 Performance Advisor displays performance data collected over a default duration of
last hour in all key metric charts and statistical tables. You can retain the default duration or
configure the key metric settings to view data for a different predefined interval. The duration that
you configure will then be considered as the default duration and will override the 1 hour default
duration provided by HP P6000 Performance Advisor. In addition, you can also configure key
metric charts to display live data samples.

This section describes the procedure to modify the key metric chart and statistical data settings that
will be applied across all the key metric charts and statistical table shown in HP P6000 Performance
Advisor.
