OID/Instance. Select a SNMP counter by clicking the browse (...) button. After you
select a counter, the OID and Instance fields will populate with the type and instance
of the counter you select.
Color. Select a color for the counter by clicking the browse (...) button. This color is
used in the Web Performance Monitor graph for this specific counter. If you are
graphing multiple counters, this color differentiates it from the other counters.
Scale. Use this to change the magnitude of the graphed values. For example, a value
of 100 with a scale of 0.1 will display as 10. A value of 2912 on a scale of 0.01 will
display as 29.12. The raw polled value is multiplied by the scale to determine the
actual graphed value. The default scale is 1.0.
Tip: Scaling is useful when displaying multiple values on the same graph that have
significantly different magnitudes.
