   • Title: chart title that is displayed at the top of the chart
   • Type: the type of chart displayed, either Line or Area.
   • Select Indicators: indicators that show that events of a particular status have been generated for the selected object. Indicators are displayed only for a single metric in an area or line chart and only if thresholds have been defined for the indicator type. The following indicators can be displayed on charts:
     • Threshold Events: select this option to display lines that indicate signature or absolute thresholds defined for the metric that you select to display in the chart, and icons that show the status of any threshold events generated for that metric for the selected time frame
     • Abnormality Events: select this option to display lines that indicate abnormality thresholds defined for the metric that you select to display in the chart, and icons that show the status of abnormality events generated for that metric for the selected time frame
     • External Events: select this option to display icons that show the status of events generated from external event adapters. 
        The chart legend defines each indicator type displayed on a chart. You access the chart legend by clicking the Chart Legends button . Also, you can mouse over an event indicator icon on the chart to get more details about the event.
2. Click OK to save your changes and close the chart preferences dialog box.
