Selecting Monitored Objects and Viewing Metrics

In a line chart, you can compare the same metric of multiple resources on one graph. When there are a large number of resources, you can select only some resources and compare their metrics.

• Select monitored objects. By default, resources are sorted by Name, as shown in Figure 7. You can also select resources by ID, Metric Name, or Resource Type. The system displays the data of selected resources and hides that of other resources.
