Examples
The following examples aim to only describe the configuration of the dashboard widget field objects for the Graph widget. For more information on configuring a dashboard, see dashboard.create.
Configuring a Graph widget
Configure a Graph widget in the following way:
- 4 data sets for a total of 9 items on 1 host.
- Each data set consists of a line that has a custom color, width, transparency, and fill.
- Data set 4 has a configured aggregation.
- Data in the graph are displayed for a time period of the last 3 hours.
- Problems in the graph are displayed only for the configured items.
- Graph has two Y axes of which the right Y axis displays values only for Data set 4.
- Graph legend displays configured items in 2 rows.
