- Click the legend that represents the required data, and then click the CHANGE Y-MIN AND Y-MAX button.
- Specify required minimum and maximum values (both are required).
- Click the SET button.
Note that the Y-axis change only affects the selected data. If your graph includes other data, that data won't be affected, but you can of course change the Y-axis interval for other data separately.
To reset a changed Y-axis interval to its default values, click the legend that represents the required data, and then click the UNSET Y-MIN AND Y-MAX button.
All Data on Graph
When you want to compare the performance counters on your graph, it sometimes makes sense to use the same Y-axis range for all the counters:
- Click the customize y-axis button in the bar below the graph:
- Specify required minimum and maximum values (both are required).
- Click the SET button.
To reset the y-axis to its default value, click the customize y-axis button again and then click the RESET button.
Remove Lines that Connect Points
Data points are by default connected by lines. If required, you can remove the connecting lines for individual data: Click the legend that represents the required data, and then click the DO NOT CONNECT POINTS button.
Connected points
Disconnected points
To connect points again, click the legend that represents the required data, and then click the CONNECT POINTS button.
Show Peaks, Minimums and Maximums
The graph by default shows average data. If you also want to view peaks, minimums and maximums, you can easily toggle that on and off for individual data as well as for all data on your graph.
Without and with peak data
Individual Data
- Click the legend that represents the required data.
- Click the ENABLE Average TO Peak AREA SERIES button.
Depending on the data, the button may also be called ENABLE Low TO Peak AREA SERIES or ENABLE Min TO Max AREA SERIES and may show minimum as well as maximum peaks.
To remove the peak data, click the legend that represents the required data, and then click the DISABLE Average/Low TO Peak AREA SERIES button (again the button may have another name depending on the data).
All Data on Graph
To toggle peaks, etc. on and off for all data on your graph, click the toggle area chart button in the bar below the graph:
Use Graph Elsewhere
If you want to quickly share the graph with colleagues, or include it a report to top management, customers or similar, you can easily do so:
Export Graph
To quickly export the graph in .png or .pdf format, click the download button in the bar below the graph:
The graph will be exported the way you that you view it. This means, for example, that if you have zoomed in on an area of the graph, it's only that area that'll be included in the export.
Add Graph to Report
You can quickly add the graph to an existing or new PerformanceGuard report:
- Click the plus button in the bar below the graph:
- Select the required report.
If the report doesn't exist yet, click the + New link. This will open a new window or tab for defining the new report. When you have defined the new report, you'll be able to select it.
- Specify a Header (required) and a Description (optional).
- Click the ADD TO REPORT button.
