Opening a chart

Use the following procedures to open chart forms of a view. By default, a chart represents all of the resources in a tabular view. You can also open a chart of selected resources.

Important

You can change the number of rows included in the chart data with the slider tool. By default, the chart includes the rows visible in the view pane. With the slider tool, you can specify that 10 to 100 rows (data points) from the starting row displayed in the view pane be included in the chart. The slider appears on the status line of the chart just to the left of the row pointer.

To open a chart of the entire view

Perform one of the following actions:

  • On the view toolbar of a tabular view, click the Chart GUID-AD4F4B8D-BFD1-4FCE-9C09-0BD1843BABB3-low.jpgor Topology GUID-01E5EEEA-385C-4C30-A4A8-5926E5C3A5AF-low.jpgbutton.
  • Right-click the view icon in the Product tree and select Open chart. The chart of the view data opens directly, without the accompanying tabular view. BMC AMI Ops retrieves view data from the host as if you had opened the view.

The default chart type or the topology chart for the view is displayed in the view frame. The chart represents all of the resources in the view.

Important

The Chart button is not displayed on charts or any view that does not support charts (such as the Plex Map or Alerts view).

To open a chart of selected resources

Important

This procedure does not apply to topology charts. Topology charts always display all of the items in the view.

  1. From a tabular view, select the data rows that you want to chart.
  2. Either click the Chart GUID-AD4F4B8D-BFD1-4FCE-9C09-0BD1843BABB3-low.jpgbutton on the view toolbar, or drag the selected rows to that button.The default chart type for the view is displayed in the view frame. The chart represents only resources that you selected.
