Navigating the Views and Graphs drawer
Use the Views & Graphs drawer in the navigation pane in the Operations Console to create and edit views, and display graphs based on the assigned access rights.
The following figure displays a single view and identifies the major areas within the Views screen:
Views
- The title bar contains icons for customizing the display and managing views.
- View details displays the owner, update frequency, and the date and time the view was last updated above the graph thumbnail. By default, the View details are not displayed. You must select the Show View details at top of the page option when creating a view to display the details.
View display shows the graph thumbnails. Using the graph thumbnails, you can enlarge the view, rename, or delete the graph. These options are available only for the graph-based view. Thumbnails provide a high-level view of all graphs that exist in the view.
The graph border colors act as visual notifications when data collection pertaining to that graph is in an alarming condition. The highlight color indicates the event severity.
- Critical = Red
- Major = Orange
- Minor = Yellow
When an event is closed, the highlight color returns to blue.
The graph labels are based on monitored attributes, data source, and the date and time the graph was generated. The source of the monitored data always appears within the description column of the graph tables.
An inverted triangle symbol is used as a placeholder and is displayed in the following conditions:
- Data for the entire period is not available for creating a graph
- Rate data computation for the hour is not complete for the top 10 graphs. Generally, this happens with newly created instances.

The thumbnail appears blank if the monitored resource provides a minimum amount of data during the polling period.
