Documentation forServer & Application Monitor
Monitoring your applications and environment is a key capability of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly Hybrid Cloud Observability) and is available in the Essentials edition. Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is also available in a standalone module.

Multiple Statistic Chart

This chart provides the ability to graphically visualize multiple statistics simultaneously, as well as view the statistics in the table below. The advantage of this view is that you can easily determine how certain processes and services are performing in relation to others. For example, you may notice that a spike in RAM usage results in higher CPU usage. This charted information allows you to get a quick overview of what is being monitored and may answer why certain unexpected events are occurring.

Zooming

You can have the chart show a predetermined time period of data by clicking on any one of the three Zoom buttons at the top of the chart. Alternatively, you can have the chart show a specific time range by dragging the mouse over a small area of the chart, or by adjusting the sliders in the smaller chart below the main chart.

Once you have a time period selected, the lower chart zooms to the starting and ending values of the selected time period. With the lower chart you can zoom in further by fine tuning the view with the sliders. The main view of the chart displays the selected time period between the two sliders of the lower chart.
