About the Last Polled Custom Performance Monitor Values (Specific Monitor) report

This home-level dashboard report provides graphical illustration of a device custom performance monitor at the time of the last poll. Placing this dashboard report in a dashboard allows you to view the performance status of a device quickly.

There are five types of graphs to choose from:

• Pie. A 3-D pie graph that displays the custom performance monitor value.
• Gauge. A semi-circle graph (much like a car speedometer) with a pointer that indicates the custom performance monitor value.
• Horizontal bar. A horizontal bar graph (much like a ruler) with a pointer that indicates the custom performance monitor value.
• Vertical bar. A vertical bar graph (much like a thermometer) with a pointer that indicates the custom performance monitor value.
• Text. A numerical representation of the custom performance monitor value. The percentage is displayed in colors that coincide with the WhatsUp threshold colors:
  • Red. Above 90%
  • Yellow. Between 80% and 90%
  • Green. 80% or less

Note:If you do not select the Define custom min and max values option on the report configuration dialog, the text value will be displayed in black.

Along with the various types of graphs to choose from, you can also pick the display size of the graph (small, medium, or large).

To configure this dashboard report in WhatsUp Gold:

1. In the title bar of the dashboard report pane, click Menu > Configure. The Configure Report dialog appears.
2. Enter or select the appropriate information for the following boxes.
   • Report name. Enter a title for the dashboard report.
   • Device. Select a device by clicking the browse (...) button.
   • Custom aspect to graph. Select the custom performance monitor configured for the device to display in the report. If you have not yet, you must configure a custom performance monitor for this device. First configure the monitor in the Performance Monitor Library, and then add it to the device in Device Properties.
   • Define custom min and max values. Selecting this option allows you to choose from all of the graph types listed above. Not selecting this option only allows you to use the text graph.
   • Minimum value. Enter the minimum value to graph.
   • Maximum value. Enter the maximum value to graph.
   • Graph type. Choose the type and size of the graph.

   Note: If you choose the gauge graph, selecting the Define custom min and max values allows you to reverse the high and low values on the gauge. For example, you could have the 100% available memory as green on the gauge instead of red which would signify a problem.

   • Width. Enter a width for the report (in pixels).
   • Height. Enter a height for the report (in pixels).
3. Click OK to save changes.
