User-defined graphs
You can modify the predefined graphs to create your own customized graphs (see ” Customizing basic
monitoring graphs ” on page 121 for more information). These user-defined graphs can be added and
saved to canvas configurations, as described on page 126 .
Canvas configurations
A canvas is a saved configuration of graphs. The graphs can be either the Advanced Web Tools
predefined graphs or user-defined graphs. Each canvas can hold up to eight graphs per window, as
shown in Figure 40 . Up to 20 canvases can be set up for different users or different scenarios. Each
canvas is saved with a name and an optional brief description.
