  1. Servers: Select which servers and server groups to base the graph on, server groups are enclosed in <>. Only server groups and monitored servers are listed, see Server Lists for details about monitored ports.

Select multiple servers and server groups by pressing the CTRL key while selecting the servers.

  1. Ports: Select which port or port group to base the graph on, port groups are enclosed in <>. Only port groups and monitored ports are listed, see Port Lists for details about monitored ports.
  2. Agents: Select which group of computers that the graph should be based on. Super groups, that is groups of groups, are enclosed in <>.
  3. Interval: Select the period of time that the graph should cover. If the predefined intervals don't suit you, select Custom to specify your own interval.
  4. Y-axis Min and Max: Specify the range that you require for the graph's vertical axis. If you leave the fields empty, the range will automatically reflect the minimum and maximum values found in the data.
  5. X-axis Min and Max: Specify the range that you require for the graph's horizontal axis. If you leave the fields empty, the range will automatically reflect the minimum and maximum values found in the data.
  6. Connect samples: The graph values are default drawn as single dots. Select this box to connect the dots by a thin line.
