You can edit the visual properties of the charts displayed in Spotlight.

    Notes:

    • You can use a Summary chart to view the statistics on how the charted data varies over time, including details on average, maximum, and minimum values. The percentile range (10% to 90%) shows the spread that contains 80% of all values in the chart.
    • You can use a Histogram to sort data into ranges of values. The horizontal axis shows the distribution of data across those ranges. The vertical axis shows the number of items in each range. (A current data histogram displays the most recent data collected; a trend histogram displays an average of the data collected over the available history of the chart.)
    • Any charts under the Other views heading (as in the Sample item here) are specific to individual Spotlight applications.
    • Some charts that show task or status data may be drawn as Gantt charts. These are custom-coded charts and cannot be displayed in other styles.

Chart Properties - Filtering Page

A Spotlight chart may contain multiple graphs representing separate data series from multiple data sources. You can filter the chart so that it shows only the data series that you want to see.

Spotlight supplies a set of filters that you can use, but if none of the standard filters are suitable for your chart, you can design a custom filter.

To set a custom filter on a chart

  1. Right-click the chart and select Properties | Filtering.
  2. Configure as appropriate:

    Option Description

    Name

    Select the chart to configure. Applicable when the chart name is selectable.

    Show all items

    Select to display all current data series.

    For example, if a system has the multiple disks C:, D:, E:, and F:, the relevant disk usage chart displays the disk usage statistic for all four disks.

    Show only the top items

    Select to display the most significant data series.

    Select the number of data series to show from the associated drop down list.

    Show the following items

    Select to choose the data series to show.

    Select the data series to show from the associated list. Note also the associated Select all and Clear all buttons.
