Data

Edit online

The Data tab enables you to select the indicators for which you want to view, analyze, and interact.

Perform the following steps to set the widget settings for Data tab.

For Datasource and Resource Type settings, please refer to section Select Widget Resources in Create.
Important:
Resource Type, Object, allows you to search on object description, device display name, and plugin.ObjectName. You must enter a string in double-quotes. Search can also be performed on a word. You may enter one or more strings/words in Resource Type > Object.

Example# 1
If you enter "IP of device" echo CPU196640, these are 3 key terms to search on. All objects containing IP of device, echo, and CPU196640 will be available to choose from.
IP of device is in double-quotes as the search is on all words with space in between. A string can have one or more spaces in it.

Example# 2
If you enter IP of device echo CPU196640, these are 5 key terms to search on. All objects containing IP, of, device, echo, and CPU196640 will be available to choose from.

Example# 3
If you enter CPU, all objects containing CPU will be available to choose from. It can return objects such as CPU196640, CPU196632, etc.

2. Select the Use percentage check box to compare capacity or leave clear to compare the relative values of the different metrics.
AGGREGATION
1. Enable Enable aggregation to aggregate the data to produce meaningful reports that can be easily interpreted at a glance. Disable to graph each data point which for some data may clutter the display.
  Important: Disabling aggregation or using a custom aggregation may hinder performance or prevent the widget from producing results.
  Custom aggregation time-buckets are disabled for Heatmap and Calendar Heatmap visualizations as they are dictated by the report time range. The type of aggregation (Average, Maximum, Minimum, and Total) can still be used within the report.
2. Enable the Use auto check box to have SevOne Data Platform use the aggregation that best fits your screen resolution.
  Warning: The Use auto option is enabled by default. If you disable auto-aggregation (by clearing the check box), you may experience significant performance issues. If necessary, only advanced users should disable auto-aggregation.
3. Click the Type drop-down and select one of the following options:
  - Average - to display an average aggregation that is true to the data.
  - Maximum - to graph the highest value.
  - Minimum - to graph the lowest value.

    - Click the Size Units drop-down and select the unit of measure for the aggregation size time period.
SUMMARY SERIES
Summary Series aggregates and summarizes alike series in the chart. Series with matching indicator types are summarized.
1. Enable Summarize Series to view all indicators with the display of each indicator as a separate row along with a Group Summary row appended at the bottom of the table. When disabled, the Group Summary row is not included.
  Note: When Summarize Series is enabled, all indicators must have the same display units.
  - Enable Hide Original Series to only show new aggregated series. When disabled, Hide Original Series shows both the original and the new aggregated series.
  - Click the Summary Aggregation drop-down and select which aggregation function you want to use for the summary. Periodicity matches the AGGREGATION setting. Select one of the following options:
    - Average - to display an average aggregation that is true to the data.
    - Maximum - to graph the highest value.
    - Minimum - to graph the lowest value.
    - Total - to aggregate all data.
DOWNSAMPLING
1. Enable Enable downsampling to present the most important information while maintaining responsiveness when working on very large data sets or smaller graph spaces. While preserving meaningful peaks and valleys, downsampling intelligently excludes extraneous data points that do not impact visualization. For additional details on downsampling algorithm, please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93Peucker_algorithm.
BASELINES
1. Enable Enable baselines to display each indicator's baseline on the graph. SevOne Data Platform automatically computes baselines. Baselines appear on the graph as dashed, light colored, box shaped lines.
