Graph-Max Field
When an attribute has its Show in Graph property set, you can specify the Graph-Max
normalization value for that attribute. The Graph-Max field is the unlabeled field immediately
to the right of the Show in Graph check box. This value determines the maximum graph amplitude
or normalization value for the attribute.
For example, if the attribute Queue has a Graph-Max value of 10, and the value of the Queue
attribute is 5, the Queue value appears in the graph at one-half of the maximum graph height.
Graph-Max values are used when the Graph Percent check box is selected on the Graph property
sheet.
State Determination
You can specify how the state of each attribute is determined when an attribute has its Show in
Graph property set.
In Dashboard, each data attribute has a state associated with it when the attribute has its Show
in Graph property set. Dashboard assigns the state to that attribute based on the State
Determination Option for each attribute. If more than one attribute has its Show in Graph property
enabled for a given object, the attribute with the highest state is said to be the state of the object.
Thus each object can have a state associated with it.
When an object has a state associated with it, the graph for each object is color-coded based on
the state of the object, and the corresponding data value in the grid portion of the Dashboard
Browse window is annotated with the state icon. The Browse window lets you selectively display
objects based on their states. To selectively display objects in the browse window based on their
states, select View > States in the Browse window View menu. This table summarizes Dashboard
states and their associated icons:
DescriptionStateIcon
Object exists.Existence
Object is up or meets the performance
and availability objectives specified for
this Dashboard configuration.

Object utilization is low.Low
Object utilization is medium.Medium
Object utilization is high.High

To customize object and state icons, use the Icon Server Control Panel. For more information,
