LogicMonitor automatically generates overview graphs for hosts with multiple objects (interfaces, volumes, VIPs, etc). Each overview graph can show one or more of the datapoints collected for each object, as well as perform all the powerful arithmetic capabilities of LogicMonitor graphing. Overview graphs are commonly used to provide at-a-glance information about volume performance on NetApps, VIP performance on load balancers, etc. They can also be split into multiple graphs and grouped, if there is too much information to convey on one graph. And best of all, like all LogicMonitor configuration – they update automatically, as objects are added to or removed from your datacenter.
A real life example of how they speed problem resolution:
LogicMonitor triggered an alert on a Netscaler cluster as the global surge queue level was too high, indicating users were not able to access virtual servers effectively.
If the servers were down for a VIP, LogicMonitor would have sent alerts on that, but in this case that did not occur. However, a quick look at the overview graph for all VIPs quickly showed which VIP was at issue:
The ff.com vip was identified as being the cause of the issue, and a look at the statistics for that particular VIP confirmed it:


It looked like the servers were up, but suddenly unable to deal with the rate of requests.
The administrator looked at the LogicMonitor information about the servers associated with the site ff.com, and noted that sequential table scans on the database had dramatically increased for the same amount of requests served (LogicMonitor also triggered an alert for this). The code release that was just completed had omitted an index, causing performance to crawl. The code change was backed out, and the site performance recovered.
