Configuring the dashlet

Set up the Traffic dashlet so that it shows traffic statistics for a specific Watchpoint and traffic metric.

To configure the dashlet

1. On the dashlet shortcut menu, click Edit settings.
2. Configure basic settings as follows:
   • In the Watchpoint list, click the Watchpoint corresponding to the object or page for which you want to display information.
   • In the Metric list, click the metric corresponding to the type of information that you want to display.
   • In the Time range list, click the period for which you want to view information.
3. (Optional) Configure advanced settings as follows:
   • To show comparative data, in the Compare to list, click a value. The values in the list change according to the selected time range.

   • To customize the scale of data shown, clear the Auto Scale check box and enter the maximum and minimum values for the Y axis of the graph.

     Note

     If you set the minimum to a value that is greater than your data's highest value, the graph might appear empty (or empty in places). If this happens, set the minimum Y-axis value to a lesser value.

   • (Analyzer only) To change the color scheme, select a theme on the Color theme list.
   • (Analyzer only) To provide visual contrast, select the Use color background check box to set the background.
