Setting Options for Charting Indicator Readings for Failures

APM charts the indicator readings taken prior to and after the resolution of each failure. You can define the periods before and after each failure for which readings are charted. The default values are seven days before and after the failure. With these settings, APM charts the readings from seven days prior to the date on which the failure occurred and for seven days after its resolution.

Note: APM uses the options in effect at the time the failure is created or resolved.
