Graphical output environment variables

There are two environment variables that control how graphs display in HTML report output:

Note: Only AppServer and WebSpeed reports allow you to report on multiple resources.
Single resource output

Figure 2–1 shows an example of the type of graph that displays when you run the CPU Summary report without GRAPH1COLUMNS defined. In instances when you do not choose to define environment variables in the Environment field on the Create Report page, OpenEdge Management creates a report graph using the values associated with a report type's default fields.

The graph report output example in Figure 2–1 uses the values associated with the CPU Summary report's default fields.

In contrast, the following code entered in the Environment field on the Create Report page shows how you can customize the graph output of the report by defining a field:

GRAPH1COLUMNS=CPU_Idle

When the CPU Summary report is run with this code, the data associated with the specified field appears. Figure 2–2 shows this customized output.

See the "Report output field and column headings" section for a complete list of the column and field headings available for each report template.

Multiple resources output

Figure 2–3 shows an example of the type of graph that displays when you run the AppServer Application Profile report without the GRAPH1COLUMNS or the fathomResourcesPerGraph defined. In instances when you do not choose to define environment variables in the Environment field in the Create Report page, OpenEdge Management creates a report graph using the values associated with a report type's default fields.

The graph report output example in Figure 2–3 uses the values associated with the AppServer Application Profile report's default fields.

In contrast, the following information entered in the Environment field on the Create Reports page shows how you can customize the graph output of the report by defining:

When the AppServer Application Profile report is run with the following code, only the column heading-related data, with the specified number of resources per graph, appears:

GRAPH1COLUMNS="Run Count,Request Duration (avg),Return Code Success"
fathomResourcesPerGraph="7"

Figure 2–4, Figure 2–5, and Figure 2–6 show this customized output.
