Widget description

The Bar Chart allows you to categorize one-dimensional data by attribute and then display the values you want as bars or columns.

•  Appearance
  • Title: title of the widget (displayed in the upper part of the widget).

    If no title is defined, the default Bar chart title will be displayed.

  • Display as: chart orientation.

    The vertical orientation allows for a very good visualization of ordered/rank data. For example: show top 10 executions by runtime/number of executions. On the other hand, the horizontal orientation is especially useful to display load distributions over time.

• X-Axis: here you select the values to be displayed on the horizontal axis. You can select the following values:
  • Count: Displays the total number of records by sub-category:
    • The Number option in the Show dropdown list is selected automatically.

    • In the Jobs dropdown list you can filter the status of the data to be displayed: ended or started.

      Example: The Agent Type category contains the following sub-categories: Windows, Unix and Generic. If you select the count value and started status from the Show dropdown list, the total number of started agents will be displayed:

      

  • Sum: Total sum of a certain value displayed by sub-category.
    • Select how you want to show the sum value: by runtime (real runtime) or by ERT (estimated runtime).

    • In the Jobs dropdown list you can filter the status of the data to be displayed: ended or started.

      Example: The 244 Windows Agents and 223 Unix Agents sum the following run time:

      

  • Average: average of a certain value displayed by sub-category.
    • Select how you want to show the average value: by runtime (real runtime) or by ERT (estimated runtime).

    • In the Jobs dropdown list you can filter the status of the data to be displayed: ended or started.

      Example: Average runtime of all Windows, Generic and Linux agents:

      

• Y-Axis: Here you select the values to be displayed on the vertical axis. Data can be grouped by Agent type, Agent name, hour of day, object name, etc...

  You can set a maximum number of displayed sub-categories by selecting the desired number in the categories picker.

  Example: if you set the grouping limit to 2, only the biggest two sub-categories will be displayed in the chart:
