Customization of a performance wizard.

 The performance widget does not have the same limitation as the performance
view regarding the age of historical data that can be shown. Whereas the
performance view only queries the Operations database for data, which by
default only stores 7 days of historical data, the performance widget gets its
data from the data warehouse (OperationsDW database), which contains up to
400 days of data by default!

STEP1. Click on the “Add a widget on an empty cell’. And from that select “Performance
Widget.”

STEP2. After giving it a name select the group for which it would display the data.

STEP3. For instance, we have selected “All Windows Computers group.”

STEP5. We can have more than one performance counter.

STEP6. Specify the time range that you want to see data for.

The chart is optimized to show no more than 100 data points per line to improve querying and
rendering performance

 If the time range is less than 100 hours the widget will show raw data from the data
warehouse

 If the time range is between 100 hours and 100 days the widget will show hourly aggregated
data

 If the time range is greater than 100 days the widget will show daily aggregated data

 In addition, in order to optimize rendering performance, if the time range is 2 weeks (336
hours) the query will return 336 hourly data points, but the widget will reduce the number of
points in the resulting line to approximately 100 points.
STEP7. Finally, configure the way you would like the chart and legend to display.

In the legend, you can specify which columns to show. If you select a column like Maximum Value, for
each series the maximum value of all the displayed points will be shown in the legend.
