Creating dashboard bar charts

You can create a bar chart to display on the dashboard for the following product deployments:

• TrueSight App Visibility Manager(TSAVM)
• BMC Digital Workplace Named User Report v18.02 and later (DWPNUR)
  
• BMC Client Management (BCM)
• BMC Database Automation (BDA)
• BMC Digital Workplace (MyIT)
• BMC Discovery (Discovery) up to 11.1
• BMC Network Automation (BNA) / TrueSight Network Automation

To create a dashboard bar chart:

1. Select the Dashboard tab.

2. On a dashboard panel, click the Select Deployment link.

   Note

   The Select Deployment link appears if a bar chart has not yet been created. To replace a bar chart, you will need to delete it, and then create a new one (See step 5b.)
3. On the Select the Deployment dialog, select a product deployment, then click OK.

4. On the Duration Selection dialog, select a time frame (for example, Last Quarter), then click OK.

   Note

   The Duration is only applicable for ARS, BSA v8.2 to v8.6, and BSA 8.7 and higher.

   While the bar chart is generating, a "please wait" message appears.
   
   

   Limitations

   Where data exceeds the bar chart panel height, the top and bottom of the chart may not initially appear. Use your mouse wheel to zoom out to view the entire chart.

   Note

   If an "Error generating dashboard" message appears, please refer to the log. The path is provided on the message dialog, for example: 
   C:\Program Files (x86)\BMC Software\LicenseUsageCollector\licenseusagecollector\user\Dashboardlogs\180921_133429_LUCU\vw-aus-rem-dv1d_dsl_bmc_com_1.txt.
5. After creating a bar chart, the "Select Deployment" link is replaced by "Refresh" and "Delete".
   
   1. To refresh the data in a bar chart, click the Refresh link.
   2. To delete a bar chart, click the Delete link.
      The "Refresh" and "Delete" links are replaced by "Select Deployment" so you can create a new bar chart.
