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.
