Trend Graphs

Trend graphs enable you to view and compare various important metrics over time, such as server memory utilization, server throughput, the number of clients being served by the server, or the total amount of data sent to clients. You can use trend graphs to assess utilization and performance trends.

For example, the following figure illustrates a typical trend graph. In this example, metrics for Pending Messages, Incoming Messages and Outgoing Messages are traced.
