Configuring KPI Layouts
The KPI Layouts table lets you configure up to 20 graph layout pages for the device's performance monitoring parameters (key performance indicators or KPI). Each KPI Layout defines the number and positioning of the graphs on the page. The graphs contain the selected performance monitoring parameters (configured later in Adding Performance Monitoring Graphs to KPI Layouts).
You can configure a KPI Layout with one of the following layout designs:
| ■ | 1x1 (one graph): |
| ■ | 1x2 (two graphs, positioned side by side): |
| ■ | 2x1 (two graphs, positioned one below the other): |
| ■ | 2x2 (four graph panels, two positioned side by side on one row and another two below, also positioned side by side): |
Once you have configured a KPI Layout, you can configure a graph to plot performance monitoring parameters, as described in Adding Performance Monitoring Graphs to KPI Layouts.
The following procedure describes how to configure KPI layouts through the Web interface. You can also configure it through ini file [KPIGraphs] or CLI (configure system > kpi > layouts).
| ➢ | To configure a KPI layout: |
| 1. | Open the KPI Layouts table (Monitor menu > Monitor tab > Performance Monitoring folder > KPI Layouts). |
| 2. | Click New; the following dialog box appears: |
| 3. | Configure a KPI Layout according to the parameters described in the table below. |
| 4. | Click Apply. |
