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.

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.
