When you create dashboards, data rollup is part of what the display shows. If, for example, the
monitor displays the results from a boolean (0 or 1 output), rollup may average values for a
duration, and values less than one will appear in the graph.
CAUTION:
Revisions like deleting Hierarchical View portlets from a page require a page refresh before the
dashboard works correctly. Some packages contain a System dashboard that may not let you select
monitors.
