Adding new chart windows
By default, the performance graphs of components for metrics that belong to the same metric category
are plotted in the same chart window. To view performance graphs of components in separate chart
windows:
1. Clear the selection (blue border) around the existing chart window by clicking the title bar of the
active chart window.
The blue border around the chart window should look disabled.
2. Click Add New to add a new chart window. The new chart window is automatically selected
(blue border appears around the active chart window).
The performance data points of components that you select in the component selection tree for
metrics in the same metric category are added to the new chart window till you clear the selection.
