Trend Graph

Traces the following for the selected queue:

  • Oldest Message Age: The age of the oldest message in the queue.

 

Log Scale

Select to enable a logarithmic scale. Use Log Scale to see usage correlations for data with a wide range of values. For example, if a minority of your data is on a scale of tens, and a majority of your data is on a scale of thousands, the minority of your data is typically not visible in non-log scale graphs. Log Scale makes data on both scales visible by applying logarithmic values rather than actual values to the data.

 

Base at Zero

Select to use zero as the Y axis minimum for all graph traces.

 

Time Range

Select a time range from the drop down menu varying from 2 Minutes to Last 7 Days, or display All Data. To specify a time range, click Calendar button_calendar00213.gif.
