Special Charts
The special charts include charts that help you assess the health of the infrastructure at a glance, review capacity trends, view topology, and view the output of the IPM analytics.
Inventory Heatmap Chart
The Inventory Heat Map chart type is a visual representation of the complexity of your environment. It is designed to quickly show you how many of the selected entity type makes up the filtered selection and how many have crossed a configurable threshold. You can click on an entity box to view open alarms, navigate to its entity page, or show its topology.
Open Case Summary Chart
The Open Case Summary chart shows you how many entities have open alarms and how serious they are.
Capacity Trend Chart
The Capacity Trend chart provides a trend chart of 1-minute metric data saved using a statistical distribution across hourly and daily periods. This chart type provides support for analysis of metric data across longer durations.
Analytics Output Chart
The Analytics Output chart displays IPM View All Outputs in reports. Balance Finder, Storage Port Balancer, and VM Coordinator results can be displayed in a report.
Topology Chart
The Topology chart type allows you to select a saved topology view to display as a chart in a report or dashboard. All the topology map controls (expand containers, zoom in/out, mini-map, etc.) are available and can be used in the chart. This chart type is very useful for dashboards.
SCSI Status Chart
The SCSI Status report displays a list of SCSI Status messages, for a selected entity, in a table format. This report is typically used for troubleshooting, for example, providing a vendor with SCSI status messages. This chart type is available only with the hardware probe.
