Adding a Background Image to a portal or its text component

In conjunction with the fixed position layout, you can set on the portal a background image, such as a geographical map or a layout diagram of your server rack, and then position a state indicator view at a location on top of the image to represent the monitored state at that location.

By dragging a text component you can upload a background image, such as a map.

To add a background image to a portal or a text area component:
1
Click the Background Image icon to upload a background image.
•
For a portal, the choice is available on the General tab by choosing Properties > Edit basic properties. The Edit View Properties dialog box appears.
•
For the text component, the choice is available on the General tab by choosing Drag into portal to add text. The Entering User Text dialog box appears.
In either case the icon for setting a background is available to allow you to choose among the existing registered images or to specify a URL that points to the image.
The Select an Image dialog box appears.

In the tree under Dashboard Development > Support > Maps, choose one of the mapped, themed images that are included with Foglight.
•
Upload your own image by clicking Upload Image.

Preview the image and click OK.
You can use the image to add monitoring views based on absolute location by dragging and selecting views onto your image. For more information on adding views, see Add View .

Using the Metrics Analyzer

For any visualization that you create dynamically, there are built-in, default drill-downs available so you can go to another view. You can use the metrics analyzer to view the data in different ways by experimenting with metrics available in that same parent.

To use the metric analyzer on a chart:
1
For any chart you have created, click the data in the chart.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: The metric analyzer can be used with any metric, not just with charts.

The Metric Analyzer view appears with other metrics for the selected chart.

2
Select other metrics so you can view them in that same parent. For example, if you select receiveRate, the corresponding chart also appears in the Metric Analyzer view.
3
Select the Individual Charts tab to display each metric individually or click the Single Chart tab to view all selected metrics in a single chart.
 
* 
NOTE: From any view you have created on your dashboard, you can click the Options icon (), (also known as the Edit or Customizer icon depending on its usage). A popup appears that displays a list of other options available.
 
* 
NOTE: You can also customize your view to add a configurable drill-down so you can go to another existing view or a drill-down you have created. For example to configure a user action so that a popup appears when a metric is selected, select Edit Properties. In the Config Portlet dialog box, click the Actions tab and choose the Popup option. For more information on configuring actions, see Actions tab .
