Comparing Graphs

When you have created and customized a chart with measures of interest, you might want to compare these measures with measures from a different user type, from different agents, different regions, or from a different load test. Performance Explorer provides the Compare Graph feature for this purpose. When you click Compare Graph, Performance Explorer creates a new chart with the selected measure and automatically adds the ones you want them to compare with.

Create a new chart: On the Results tab, in the New group, click Chart.
If you have not already loaded result files into Performance Explorer, select a .tsd file in the dialog.
Drag the measures of your interest from the tree onto the graph.
On the Results tab, in the Analyze group, click the drop-down arrow below Compare Graph and select one of the following options:
- With other User Types: Creates a new chart with the selected measures from the active chart and adds the same measures from all user types.
- With other Agents: Creates a new chart with the selected measures from the active chart and adds the same measures from all agents.
- With other Regions: Creates a new chart with the selected measures from the active chart and adds the same measures from all regions.
- With other TSD File: Creates a new chart with the selected measures from the active chart and adds the same measures from a different .tsd file.
If you chose to compare graphs with another .tsd file, Performance Explorer prompts you to select the .tsd file.
