Use the layout tab to select the graphs that appear in the dashboard activity area, as defined in the following table.

Table 2-4 Status Layout Settings

Name	Units	Description
<empty>	-	No graph will be displayed in this location.
SMB	operations/sec	Average number of SMB operations.
CPU	utilization	Average cycles the appliance CPUs are busy. CPU cycles includes memory wait cycles.
Disk	operations/sec	Average number of operations to the physical storage devices.
HTTP	operations/sec	Average number of HTTP operations.
iSCSI	operations/sec	Average number of iSCSI operations.
FC	operations/sec	Average number of Fibre Channel operations.
Network	bytes/sec	Average bytes/sec across all physical network interfaces.
NDMP	bytes/sec	Average NDMP network bytes.
NFSv2	operations/sec	Average number of NFSv2 operations.
NFSv3	operations/sec	Average number of NFSv3 operations.
NFSv4	operations/sec	Average number of NFSv4 operations.
FTP	bytes/sec	Average number of FTP bytes.
SFTP	bytes/sec	Average number of SFTP bytes.

Note that to reduce the network traffic required to refresh the Dashboard, configure some of the activity graphs as "<empty>".

Thresholds

Use the Thresholds screen to configure the dashboard activity weather icons. The defaults provided are based on heavy workloads, and may not be suitable for your environment.

Figure 2-7 Dashboard Activity Settings

The weather icon that appears on the Dashboard is closest to the threshold value setting for the current activity - measured as a 60 second average. For example, if CPU utilization was at 41%, by default, the Cloudy weather icon would appear because its threshold is 40% (closest to the actual activity). Select the Custom radio button to configure thresholds and be sure to configure them in the order they appear on the screen.
