Before you begin
Open or create a custom view, as explained in Display views.
For related concepts regarding charts, see The Parts of a Chart.
Note: A metric can be added to a chart only if the same metric has not already been added.
Metrics can be added to a chart in any custom view in either of the following ways:
A gauge chart can contain only a single metric, but a time series chart can contain multiple metrics. If you add a metric to an empty view, a chart is created and the metric is added to it automatically.
The following steps explain how to add a metric to a chart using the Metric Browser. To add a metric to a chart by moving or copying it from a different chart, see Move or copy a metric from one chart to another.
To add a metric to a chart using the Metric Browser:
Note: When selecting a metric in the Metric Browser to be added to a chart, you need to also select the specific MBean instance to which the metric corresponds. For more information, see Display items in the Metric Browser.
For information about how to use the Metric Browser, see Work with the Metric Browser.
When dragging the metric to the empty location, a horizontal bar is displayed to show where the new chart will be created.
After you finish
You can add multiple metrics to a time series chart simply by repeating the tasks given in this help topic. For information about viewing the metrics that have been added to the chart, see Pan and zoom the metrics data shown in a chart and Work with the Metric Browser.
