Figure 20-12 Monitoring three metrics using Performance Dashboard
20.8.4.1 Ring plot color coding
The colors that the Performance Dashboard ring plot segments use represent the following:
• Light Gray means that a server is actively reporting data.
• Pink represents the actual value of the metric.
• Dark Gray means that a server is not reporting data and might be down. In that case, select
the Left Mouse on the server to launch the Nagios application focused on that server to
investigate further.
20.8.4.2 Ring plot units of measure
If a metric's unit of measure is a percentage, as is the case for the CPU load metric, the ring plot
starts at 0 (zero) and ends at 100 percent.
If a metric's unit of measure is something other than a percentage, such as Megabytes or days,
the ring plot scale starts at 0 (zero) and ends with the maximum value reported by all the
monitored managed servers.
