Description
These parameters and the possible property values for the respective dashboard widget field objects allow to configure the Graph widget in dashboard.create and dashboard.update methods.
Widget fields properties are not validated during the creation or update of a dashboard. This allows users to modify built-in widgets and create custom widgets, but also introduces the risk of creating or updating widgets incorrectly. To ensure the successful creation or update of the Graph widget, please refer to the parameter behavior outlined in the tables below.

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:
- 2 data sets for a total of 9 items on 1 host.
- The first data set is of type "Item list" and consists of 3 items that are represented by lines with a different color, but the same width, transparency, and fill.
- The second data set is of type "Item pattern", consists of 6 items, has a configured aggregation, and is represented by a line with a custom color, width, transparency, and fill.
- The second data set also has a custom data set label.
- 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 the second data set.
- Graph legend displays configured items in 4 rows, as well as minimum, maximum and average values of the data sets.
