Building and Modifying Charts
Much of what is done in the MIB Editor when building and modifying charts is similar to
what can be done from the Agent Display window. There are two significant differences
when modifying a chart from the MIB Editor:
• Changes, once saved, are permanent. When changes are made from the Agent
Display, they are for that session only.
• More features of the chart can be modified by the MIB Editor.
Charts are indicated in the MIB Editor by the icon.
