Performance Counter Charting

Hello,

I'm trying to build a central performance counter monitor within our current HM system. I've built the test methods which are collecting the data correctly and logging to a private log with full details.

What I can't seem to get working is the Log Analyzer - I can see my tests correctly, but the default view only shows a corrected graph of data collected and I can't find a way to graph on a 1-100% threshold. If I select a full screen chart, I need to select the set bounds option for each chart so i can see a comparison of another chart using the same scale.

How do I set the log analyzer "chart pane" to display the collected data within a preset bound of say 0-100% for "%Processor Time" and when I select the full screen chart, how to I get the Log Analyzer to remember that I wish to see this chart in the same bounds as a previous view (or set the default bounds to a preset level of 0-100% in this scenario?

Your advice will be very helpful,

Warren

When you setup Report Profile, you may use "Vertical bounds" option
The option allows you to specify the lower and upper limits of the vertical axis. You may keep default value (Auto) or set bounds to display the "Reply" values within specified range. For example you may specify range 0-100 for report that shows CPU Usage test methods.

Log Analyzer uses "auto" option for interactive charts. You may set bounds manually but Log Analyzer will not keep these settings for another chart (different test provides different charts).
