The data monitor type is chosen when you create a new data monitor. For information on how to create a data monitor, see Creating a Data Monitor.
This data monitor draws a real-time geographic map of selected events. In effect, it does automatically and in real-time what you can do manually, as described in Graphing Attacks.

Description |
---|---|
Data Monitor Name |
A unique name for the monitor. |
Enable Data Monitor |
Select this check box to "switch on" the monitor and collect data from the Manager. If cleared, the monitor is "off" and displays no data. Depending on the permissions associated with the user group to which you belong, you may or may not have an option to Enable (deploy) or disable (un-deploy) the data monitor. For more information, see Enabling or Disabling a Data Monitor. |
Restrict by Filter |
Choose a filter resource with which to restrict the events that can affect the graphic. Filtering reduces the number of events the data monitor has to process. From the drop-down menu, double-click a filter or accept the default to receive all events. |
Availability Interval |
Sets the number of seconds to use as the interval between data monitor updates. |
Select Field Set |
Specify a field set for use in data monitor drill-downs. When this data monitor is displayed, the user can double-click on a chart area or table row that represents an event to bring up a drill-down channel for that event. The field set specified here determines the columns (fields) shown in the drill-down channel. (See Monitoring Dashboards for information on data monitor drill-downs.) |
Max Event Count |
Set the greatest number of most-recent events the map can show. |
