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.
The Hourly Counts Data Monitor displays the total count of events on an hourly basis along with their Priority. The hourly count for the first hour segment starts when you open the dashboard. For example, if you open the dashboard at 2:25 PM, though the first time segment displays 14:00 - 15:00, the count begins at 2:25 PM.

Data Monitor Name |
Enter a data monitor name. 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. |
Enable Data Monitor |
Select the check box to enable the data monitor and collect data from the Manager. If not selected, the associated viewer configuration will not display any data. |
Restrict by Filter |
Choose a filter resource to restrict the data monitor's contents. |
Availability Interval |
Set the number of seconds to use as the interval between 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 will determine the columns (fields) shown in the drill-down channel. (See Monitoring Dashboards for information on data monitor drill-downs.) |
As an example, you could design an Hourly Counts data monitor that displays hourly counts of data being collected, for example, the number of events that Manager receives.
