How a Newly Added Graph Displays Data

  • The graph displays the default attribute for the resource type. You can change the attribute to any available attribute for the resource.

  • If the existing graph panes have all been synchronized to the same date range, the new graph uses the synchronized range. Otherwise, the graph uses the system default date range of the previous 30 days.

  • The new graph displays actual values, even if all the existing graphs display percentages.

  • If individual resources have been applied to the existing graphs, the new graph displays the those resources as well.
