System Graph view

Summary

System Graph views present the relation between different system statistics selected by the user for comparison. When a System Graph view is added, the System Statistics Selection dialog is presented, so that the user can pick and choose statistics from any of the available statistical categories.

Users are not required to select compatible statistics. For instance, a user can compare values displayed in gigabytes to values displayed as time and percentage. For this reason, graph views are most useful for comparing similar statistics of the same data type, or for watching real-time values of different data types.
