20.8.4 Interpreting the data in a ring plot
Each segment, or slice, of a Performance Dashboard ring plot represents data for one managed
system. Each metric is shown in its own ring plot, and each managed system has its own segment
of the ring plot. The ring plots are arranged in rows and columns based on the window size and
the number of ring plots displayed.
Figure 33 illustrates the Performance Dashboard tool's default view, the percent of CPU load. The
center dial shows the current value.
Figure 33 Performance Dashboard default view: percent of CPU load
Figure 34 illustrates three ring plots that are displaying the CPU load (percentage), system uptime
(in days) metrics, and a partial view of the free root file system space (percentage). The center of
the ring shows the current value for the metric as well as the minimum, average, and maximum
values of the selected managed systems.
Table 23 (page 177) describes how to use the mouse
buttons to display additional metrics.
