Working with Attributes

MBean attributes represent the current state of data and information within a managed object. The Attributes subtab contains a table with all attributes for the selected MBean. This table contains the following columns by default:

To add other columns, right-click anywhere in the table, and select Visible Columns. You can hide the default columns or add any of the following additional columns:

To add a numeric attribute to a graph on the Overview tab:

  1. Right-click the attribute and select Visualize.

  2. Select one of the available graphs or click Add Chart to add a new one, and click OK.

To refresh the value for an attribute, right-click the attribute and select Refresh.

For some attributes, you can select the content type to be used in graphs and tables. Right-click the attribute and select the necessary content type and units under the Interpret The Raw Value 1 As item in the context menu. If you change the content type of an attribute that is already used in a graph, it will be disabled for that graph, because a graph can only display attributes with the same content types. Also, any rules that use that attributes will be disabled.
