Usage Gauges

This type of graph shows usage data as a graphical gauge representing the percentage of usage compared to the overall entitled amount. The green region of the gauge indicates usage of none to 75 percent of the available count; the yellow region indicates 75 percent to 100 percent of the available count; and the red region indicates over 100 percent (overage) of the entitled amount.

Usage Timelines and Comparisons

Usage information can also be displayed in an interactive Flash-based timeline. Commands in the upper left corner enable zooming in to different time periods, and you can click and drag the graph left and right to control the dates for which data are being displayed.

A similar interactive option is the Compare Meters graph, which simultaneously displays multiple features’ usage information over the same period of time.
