Creating Charts in LiveView Desktop

Consider the same example of AMX_3_0_SPM_Schema.xml integrated with the LiveView project sample.

Example: Plotting a Time-series Line Chart to Show Trending Average JVM Used Memory

You want to plot a time-series line chart to show the average JVM Used Memory value trending across time (aggregated by weeks/days/hours).

This example shows that weeks/days/hours/minutes are selected as the time axis, and the LiveView tables contain only the single computed value for AvgJVMUsedMemory for the time dimension. Selecting Sum/Count/Max/Min and so on results in the single value for a time unit in the chart.

Procedure

  1. Open the NoteTrends table in the Charting view.

    A blank panel appears.

  2. Click the Configure Charting View button.

    The Configure Charting View dialog appears.

  3. Type in a title, and select the visualization as Linegraph (timeseries).
  4. In the Timeseries Visualization Options, use weeks/days/hours/minutes to define the time axis values.
  5. In the Breakdown section, select an environment, host, and node so that you can drill down on a particular node in the chart.
  6. Most importantly in the Size/Height Configuration section,
    • Select the Size/Height field as: AvgJVMUsedMemory double (to plot the used memory trending)
    • Select any funtion in the list as Aggregator.
