Report Set Details:

• Graph Type: Select the graph type, such as Normal graph, percentile graph, or slab count graph from the list. Then, select the chart type based on the selected graph type. There are following type of graph which are listed below:
  1. Percentile: A percentile is the value of a variable below which a certain percent of observations fall. Therefore, the 20th percentile is the value (or score) below which 20 percent of the observations may be found. The pth percentile is a value so that roughly p% of the data is smaller and (100-p) % of the data is larger. Percentiles can be computed for ordinal, interval, or ratio data.
  2. Slab count: Slab count graph is used to count the number of samples in a particular time interval. You can change all graphs to Slab Count Graph. Earlier, users were able to convert only those graphs, which have a Percentile Data File (PDF) file associated with them.
  3. Normal: A normal graph is used to show the data in a normal graphical format.
     
     
• Chart Type: Graphs are the most important part of any report. They should be selected in all types of templates. All graphs should be time X-axis-based graphs.
• Multi-Axis: Multi graphs are also called merged graphs. Multi graphs have multiple graphs on the Y-axis with the same X-axis.
• Tile: Tile graphs have multiple simple graphs in tiled form. Tile graphs can have two or more graphs’ graphical views of data at the same time in a multi panel from top to bottom.
• Multi with Layout: This is similar to multi graphs, but instead of displaying all graphs on the same panel, the system displays them in separate panels based on the reports. It is applicable for Word report only.
• Line: In this case, the chart type will be line.
• Bar: In this case, the line chart is converted to Bars.
  • Pie: It is useful in case of multiple graphs. If one graph is converted into Pie, then a simple circle filled with one color is displayed. It is needed to take the average value or Last value of the graph. If the graph type is cumulative then the system displays sample value otherwise average value.
  • Donut: Donut is represented in the form of a donut. You need to specify the criteria either last or average.
• Area: An area chart displays graphically quantitative data. The area between axis and line is commonly emphasized with colors and textures. Area chart is used to represent cumulative data using numbers or percentages over time. Use the area chart for showing trends over time among related attributes. The area chart is like the plot chart except that the area below the plotted line is filled in with color to indicate volume.
• Stacked Area: Stacked Area chart means the area chart of each graph is stacked on each other.
• Stacked Bar: In this case, the graph is converted to a Stacked Bar chart. A stacked bar chart means the bar of each graph is stacked on each other. It is useful in the case of multiple graphs. If one graph is converted into a Stacked Bar, then it looks like a normal Bar graph.
  • Line Stacked Bar:  If the user wants to see combined graphs of a stacked bar and line chart, then Line Stacked chart is used. In Line Stacked chart, first selected graph displays as line graph and other displays as Stacked bar graph.
• Correlated: These graphs show correlation with other graphs.

Notes:

1. If a user wants to set the threshold values, then the user has to click on the Threshold Once the user selects the checkbox, the user has to provide the Minor, Major and Critical values.
2. If a user wants to show the charts as per the metrics, then the user has to click on the Charts per Subjects

• Report Set Name: Enter a valid report set name. Report name must start with the alphabet. Maximum length should be 128. Allowed characters should be Alpha, numeric, space and special characters (/%()_;-).
• Metric Group: Select the Group metrics from the drop-down list. All the available metric sets are displayed under the metric group.
• Metrics: Select the metrics from the selected metric group.
• Subject: There are two options available for subject.
  • All: All Tiers, Servers, and Instances
  • Selected Subject: Specific Tier, Server, Instance and Page.

Filter by Value Options

You can discard the undesired graphs in the report by using the ‘Filter by Value’ option. There are following filter options:

• All Non- Zero: Upon enabling this, all non-zero graphs are involved in the report.
• All Zero:  Upon selecting this, all zero graphs are involved in the report.
• Advanced: Upon selecting this, users can have some advanced level options based on value, such as <, >, <=, >=, Top, Bottom, In between, which helps to achieve the desired output. You can filter graph values by Min, Max, and Avg values of its graph data. You can also use the Include or Exclude options to get the filtered results. Include/exclude options includes/excludes the graphs that lie within the specified values. For example – if we try to find the graphs that have values between 50-100, then on include, the system displays such graphs that have values from 50-100 and the exclude option skips those results that contain graph values from 50-100 and displays the rest of the graphs. To enable the filters, the user needs to enable the toggle button.

Note: In order to apply the filters, the user first has to click on the Enable Filter checkbox.
