Charting

Any data within AggreGate may be used to build charts. There are three basic chart dataset types:

• State-based time charts. These charts show changes of some property over time. Such a chart is updated whenever the property changes. An example would be a Server CPU Load chart, used for network monitoring.
• Event-based time charts. Such a chart is updated when a certain event occurs, and its vertical axis shows this event's property. For example, if a Temperature Alert is activated when the temperature exceeds a certain limit, an event-based chart may show all alert temperature measurements.

• Custom charts. Such charts may be constructed from any tabular data.

Here is just a few examples of custom chart data sources:

• Tabular property of a hardware device
• Result of a query
• Historical events selected by custom criteria
  

State-based and event-based charts may include:

• Historical values for a selected timeframe
• Real-time values
  

Since a chart is a widget component, it can be linked to other components. For example, you can add an update period selector. You can also integrate charts into “dashboard” type HMI interfaces.

• Pie / Pie 3D
