Dashboard

The Dashboard panel consists of dials (or performance meters) that display the current value of a single attribute. The dial is a colored scale with values and a pointer. Above the dial is the title. In the middle of each dial, the current units are displayed. Below the dial are the current value of the attribute (that corresponds to the current position of the pointer) and the maximum value (that corresponds to the watermark, which is the highest observed position of the pointer). The title, units, and color of both the scale and the watermark can be adjusted.

By default, the following dials are displayed:

To add a dial to the Dashboard panel, click the Add attributes button in the top right corner of the panel and select the attribute in the Select Attribute window.

To edit a dial's properties:

  1. Right-click the dial and select Properties

  2. In the Dial Properties window, specify the title that is displayed above the dial.

  3. Specify the gradient start and end values to adjust the colors on the dial. You can also adjust the colors by clicking the Colors button and selecting the start and end colors as well as the color of the watermark.

  4. Select whether you want to show the watermark.

  5. Click OK.

To move a dial within the Dashboard panel, right-click it and select either Move left or Move right.

To remove a dial, right-click it and select Delete.

To reset the watermark to the current value of the attribute, right-click the dial and select Clear Statistics. This is useful when you have been monitoring the application for a long time and believe that the performance has changed so that the maximum for an attribute should now be different.
