5.3.7 Setting the display format (table, list, or graph) of a report

You can select the report display style from the following three formats, and you can also display data in multiple formats for a single report.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Setting components of a report
(2) Setting a graph type

(1) Setting components of a report

To set the display format of a report:

  1. Set the necessary information for the display format.
    For example, when defining a realtime report of the top ten processes whose CPU usage ratio is high in PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows), if you want to display the report of each field of Process Detail (PD) records in table format and display the CPU % (PCT_PROCESSOR_TIME) fields report in graph format, specify the following settings:
    CPU%: Select Table and Graph
    PID: Select Table
    Program: Select Table
    Display key
    Field: CPU%
    In descending order: Do not select
    The following figure shows an example of entering information in the New Report > Components window.

  2. Click the Next > button.
    • If Graph is selected one or more times in the New Report > Components window:
      The New Report > Graph window appears. Select a graph type. Go to (2) Setting a graph type.
    • If Graph is not selected in the New Report > Components window:
      The New Report > Drilldown windows appears. Go to 5.3.8 Associating a report with another report (drilldown report).

(2) Setting a graph type

If Graph is selected in the New Report > Components window, set the graph type and the display format.

To set the graph type:

  1. Set the graph type and the necessary information for the display format.
    For example, when defining a realtime report of the top ten processes whose CPU usage ratio is high in PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows), you could use the following conditions to display the graph of CPU % (PCT_PROCESSOR_TIME) fields report of Process Detail (PD) records:
    Conditions:
    • The CPU % (PCT_PROCESSOR_TIME) field value is set for the vertical axis.
    • The program (INSTANCE) field name is set for the horizontal axis and PID (ID_PROCESS) field value is set for the data within the parentheses.
    • The bar graph is set for the graph type.
    Set as follows:
    Graph types
    Column: Select
    Series direction
    By row: Select
    Axis labels
    X-axis: Program (PID)
    Y-axis: CPU%
    Data label
    Data label 1: Program
    Data label 2: PID
    The following figure shows an example of entering information in the New Report > Graph window.

    Figure 5-14 Example of input in the New Report > Graph window

    [Figure]

  2. Click the Next > button.
    The New Report > Drilldown windows appears. Go to 5.3.8 Associating a report with another report (drilldown report).

    Supplemental information:
    If you do not want to define a drilldown report, click the Finish button to close the report setting.
