Use

The predefined charts and reports combine the most useful information needed to monitor the system performance. You can view the charts individually or as part of a report. A predefined report pools together a number of predefines charts.

Note

The predefined reports also contain the traffic light and the description of important monitors. This way you see only the current state of a monitor without its detailed history.

Note

When the data from two or more monitors is in different ranges, for example, the data set of one monitor is in the range of 0 to 1, while the other is in the range of 10 000 to 100 000, you can use the Scale Monitor Values checkbox.

This function scales the values to fall in the range of 1 to 100, when this is possible, and indicates the scaling factor in the legend below the chart or table.
