Statistics Graphs Window (Grapher Window)

Figure 4-7 shows the Statistics Graph window (Grapher window). The Grapher window functions as a visual log of reported statistics utilizing a graph for each device. The Grapher window displays a subset of the information derived by the iostat(1M) interface. You can drag and drop metadevices and disks from any of DiskSuite Tool's windows to the Statistics Graphs window. This includes the Metadevice Editor canvas, the Metadevice Editor Objects list, the Slice window, and the Disk View window. An explanation of the Grapher window follows.
