Show Performance -When you select this command OpenManage Network Manager finds all of the performance attributes being monitored for the selected equipment and creates a dashboard with one dashboard component for each attribute. (See the User Guide's discussion of Active Performance Manager for details.) If you multi-select more than one device, each component shows the top five metrics for each attribute. If you select only one top-level device, OpenManage Network Manager searches the device's interface and port children for performance attributes and these attributes appear with the top five children for each attribute. The data that appears is based on the monitors that are monitoring that device and where Retain Data is checked. If you have several monitors and you are retaining data on those monitors, the screen reflects those data points. If you select two devices in Resources manager and click action -> Show performance, OpenManage Network Manager displays both of the devices' common attributes in the form. (You cannot display interface data because the devices do not have interfaces in common.) Quick Start 31
