NOTE:

Description of detailed monitor information:

· A bar chart supports displaying only 10 items.

· If you set a threshold for processes with the same name, the threshold applies to all processes with that name.

· When the monitor report contains many columns or a lot of content, the system automatically adjusts the page layout. You can drag the scroll bar to view the covered sections.

· If you change the monitor name after opening the monitor report page, the name in the report will not change. You need to open the monitor report again.

· For servers with data collected through the IPMI protocol, see the IPMI protocol collection results.

· For H3C servers with data collected through the IPMI protocol, the storage status in the basic server information of the monitor overview is the physical disk status.

· In the line chart, when the breakpoint display switch is turned on, the algorithm for breakpoint calculation will be performed only if more than four data points exists for the corresponding single instance. Breakpoint calculation inaccuracy might occur near the data for which the collection is manually triggered. The time at the breakpoint takes the median of the collection times before and after the breakpoint.

· If the server response times out, the collection unit might have no data or missing data.
