Install a Monitor in the View
1 Click action -> Add Component then click Action -> properties inside the view’s cell. The
Dashboard View Component Properties screen appears.
2 Enter a name for this component (TestDashboardComponent, here), and select a monitor
and display type (here, we select the monitor configured in Create an SNMP Monitor, and a
line chart. Notice also that for this example we leave
Threshold Display as none (displaying
thresholds as a part of the graph is also possible)
.
3 If you plan to monitor more than a single attribute, then select one entity to monitor at the
bottom of the screen (select an entity, then use the arrow to move it from
Available to
Selected ) and any number of attributes to monitor above that. Alternatively, you can select
several entities to monitor, but only one attribute. In our example, we select a single interface,
and monitor several attributes (
BW Util, Error Count, Errors and Discards Count, High,
Low, Packets In, Packets Out
).
The exact configuration of this portion of the screen depend on the
Component Type you
select.
4 Notice you can also configure items in the Data Source portion of the screen. For this
example we accept the defaults. Consult the online help for additional information about
these.
