Graph Explorer overview

Using the Graph Explorer you can examine performance statistics in an array of full- color, multidimensional charts and graphs.

Starting with data from a single baseline or scenario, or from multiple baselines and scenarios, you can use the Graph Explorer to 

  • view data using different chart views that you can customize
  • focus on data for
    • physical systems
    • logical systems
    • coupling facilities
    • applications
    • workloads
    • disks
    • tapes
    • storage systems
    • storage groups
  • select the metrics for each data type that you want to see 
  • hover over an individual data entry to see the value of that entry and highlight the relative size of other entries in the same row, as shown in the following figure.

  • print graphs and charts
  • copy graphs and charts to the clipboard

Opening the Graph Explorer window

To view the Graph Explorer window, choose Tools => Graph Explorer.

The Graph Explorer does not contain scenario or baseline data until you select the data (see Accessing-data). The following figure shows the Graph Explorer with data displayed.
