Click to create Dashboard profile navigates to the Threshold and Dashboad Profiles tab. Select
Dashboard from the Profile View For drop-down window.
The Threshold monitoring status bars are displayed in the live bar chart for each of the dashboard
counter. Status icons that indicate different states (Normal, Minor, or Major) appear above the
threshold monitoring status bars. The live data sample appears in the center of a threshold monitoring
status bar. The values displayed below a threshold monitoring status bar indicate the minor and
major threshold levels that are the reference points for the live data sample. Appropriate color
blocks in the threshold monitoring status bars signify a state based on whether the current
performance is within or exceeded the threshold levels. The status icons also appear on the right
hand corner of each threshold monitoring status bar and dynamically change based on the current
performance. The live bar chart data is constantly refreshed at five-second intervals. To interpret
a live bar chart, see
“Understanding a live bar chart” (page 94) .
The Drill down further link helps you to carry forward the dashboard profile to the Host Port
Performance tab. If the Drill down further link is not selected, then the Host Port Performance tab
has the same dashboard profile as selected in the Dashboard Settings Page.
Correlation between color blocks and status icons – Live bar chart
The following table correlates the color blocks and states to the status icons in the live bar chart:
Color in the status bar Description State and status icons
Green Normal: The current performance is
within the minor threshold level.
Yellow Warning: The current performance
has exceeded the minor threshold level
but is still within the major threshold
level.
Orange Critical: The current performance has
exceeded the major threshold level
and needs immediate attention.
