4. Click OK.

The graph is displayed in a window in the Performance Monitoring window.

Customizing basic monitoring graphs

You can customize some of the basic performance monitoring graphs to display information for

particular ports. For the Brocade 8510-8, Brocade 8510-4, and Brocade DCX and DCX-4S

enterprise-class platforms, you can also customize these graphs to display information for a slot.

You can customize the following graphs:

• Switch Throughput Utilization

• Switch Percent Utilization

• Port Snapshot Error

The following procedure assumes that you already created one of these customizable graphs.

1. Create or access the graph you want to customize.

Refer to “Creating basic performance monitor graphs” on page 109 for instructions on creating

a graph.

2. For Brocade 8510-8, Brocade 8510-4, and Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class

platforms, display the detailed port throughput utilization rates for each port in a slot by

clicking the arrows next to a slot. The port information for that slot displays in the graph.

NOTE

For the Brocade 300, 5100, 5300, 6510, VA-40FC, 7800 Extension, 8000, and the Encryption

Switch, proceed to step 3.

3. To display detailed port throughput utilization rates for particular ports only, right-click

anywhere in the graph and click Select Ports.

The setup dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 22.
