Use the Chart Style drop-down menu to select the type of display in the report. The following options are

available:

Stackable Chart: This option, available in two- and three-dimensional views, shows stacked bars

that are graphed on top of each other. Use the stacked display to compare totals between different

time periods, such as comparing the most recent total IO with the total IO from one hour ago.

When the stacked display shows numerical data, such as the LDEV IO, it adds all of the

values. If the stacked display shows a percentage, the total height and percentage are a sum

of the percentage values.

Bar Chart: This option shows the different values as rectangular bars. Use the parallel display for

comparing items within the same time period. For example, you can compare random reads with

sequential reads for a specified time period. The bar chart is the default display.

Line Chart: This option is available in two- and three-dimensional views to illustrate the data

points. This is the default chart style.

Use the Max Data Points Displayed drop-down menu to select the maximum number of data points to

display in the report. The following options are available:

10

50

100

500

1000 (default setting)

NOTE:

If you select maximum data points of 100, 500, or 1000, the line graph does not display a symbol

for each data point.
