Monitor plots
When you select a monitor from the AT, MONACTV, CSERV, MONSUMM, or MONWARN view, a plot of the data collected by the selected monitor is displayed (see the following figure).
A monitor plot view is a 10-line graph showing performance that was monitored over the previous 10 data-collection periods. Every MainView for CICS monitor has a corresponding plot view.
Each plot has a hyperlink to a corresponding MainView for CICS view or service that you can use for detailed analysis of your target’s performance. The hyperlink field is directly below the monitor name in the upper left corner of the view. The hyperlink in the following figure displays the CWOVERD view; this view shows details about the percentage contribution of various forms of delay to a transaction's response time.
