Kiviat Graph
The Kiviat Graph is produced by using the GRAPH TYPE=KIVIAT or WLMGRAPH TYPE=KIVIAT Analyzer control statement.
The shape inside the circle represents the overall performance of the measures specified in the GRAPH or WLMGRAPH statement.
The Extractor control statements that are required for the Kiviat Graph are dependent upon the information to be graphed. (See Numeric list of SMF record types for information about the record types generated by each Extractor statement and a description of the specific type of data collected by each Extractor statement.)
A sample of the Kiviat graph is shown in the following figure. Each axis is labeled with the name specified on the GRAPH or WLMGRAPH control statement. The actual value observed for each measure is printed as a number. A description of the value and a limit value (which corresponds to the circle for each measure) is also printed. If the graphed value exceeds the limit, the value is plotted on the circumference of the circle.
