Measurement graph

The eG Enterprise system includes a variety of graphing capabilities for manual diagnosis. A measure graph is used by a user to plot the instantaneous value of any of the measurements made by the eG Enterprise system with time of day. The measure graph is accessed via the Measure option under the Graphs menu. Follow the steps given below to plot a measure graph.

  • The service for which the graph is to be plotted is first selected from the Service list box. This step is optional. If no specific service is chosen, the Component list box is populated with all the components being currently managed by the eG manager. Alternatively, if a specific service is chosen, the Component list only includes components that are related to the service under consideration.  

  • Next, a specific component associated with this service can be selected from the Component list box. You can even narrow your component-search further by specifying the whole/part of a component name in the Search text box here and clicking the right-arrow button next to it. All components with names that embed the specified search string will then populate the Component list, thus making it easier for you to pick a component.

  • All the layers that map to the selected component will be available in the Layer list box and the user can choose any layer.

  • The tests corresponding to the layer under consideration form the options of the Test list box. The required test can be chosen from this box.

  • If the chosen test is being executed by more than one measurement host, then the Msmt Host list gets populated with all such measurement hosts. From this list, select the measurement host for which the graph is to be generated.

  • The measurements reported by the selected test appear in the Measure list box, one or more of which can be picked.

  • The period for which the variations of the selected measurements have to be analyzed can be specified using the Timeline list. You can either provide a fixed time line such as 1 hour, 2 days, etc., or select the Any option from the list to provide a From and To date/time for graph generation.

  • Next, indicate the type of measure graph to be generated - whether 3D or 2D - by choosing the appropriate option from the View list. The default selection in this list is determined by the Show monitor graphs in 3D flag in the MONITOR SETTINGS page of the eG administrative interface. If this flag is set to Yes, then the 3D option will be selected by default in the View list. If this flag is set to No, then the default selection in the View list will be 2D.

The Graph button can be utilized to view the graph.

The measure graph of the chosen measure for the specified timeline will then appear, followed by a table revealing the average, maximum, and minimum value computations for the measure.

The DATA button will enable the user to view the table of data corresponding to the graph. The user can print the graph using the PRINT button or save it using the SAVE button.
