Meters can +be displayed in a vertical, horizontal or rectangular arrangement. As +statistics range between 4 user defineable levels (OK, WARN, ERROR or +FATAL), the background, foreground, highlight, border and internal +border colors, and the background bitmap of each meter can be changed. + +Xmeter uses the StripChart widget of the Athena Widget Set to graph +each statistic. StripCharts automatically scale the graph as the +value varies. Each time a graph is updated, xmeter will examine the +current value of the statistic and the current scale. As the number +of scale lines increases above wlevel and elevel the background colors +and bitmaps of each meter are modified as specified. The current +scale value can be examined by clicking any mouse button while the +mouse pointer is in the StripChart. If the host is down the time it's +been down will also be displayed. + +Each meter has its own label displaying the host name and statistics +name. The statistic being graphed may be modified while xmeter is +running by moving the mouse pointer into the label part of a meter, +clicking any mouse button, and sliding down to the desired stat. This +menu also contains a quit option to exit xmeter. |
