— Right-click on a switch icon in the fabric tree, and then select Open Graph for All
Ports on Switch or Open Graph for All Logged-In Ports on Switch from the menu.
6. You can move graphs around individually by clicking and dragging, or you can arrange
them as a group. See “Arranging graphs in the display” on page 94 for more information.

To remove a fabric and its graphs:
1. Select the fabric in the fabric tree.
2. Select Fabric > Remove Fabric. You can also right-click on a fabric and then select
Remove Fabric for the menu.
Right-clicking on a graph opens a menu from which you can change graph options, print a
graph, or save the graph statistics to a file.
Arranging graphs in the display
To arrange and size graphs in the display, select Window > Cascade, Tile, or Close All.
■ Cascade overlaps the graphs so that all graphs are at least partially visible.
■ Tile arranges the graphs in non-overlapping rows and columns.
■ Close All closes all graphs.
You can also click a graph on the Window menu to bring that graph to the front.
Customizing graphs
You can customize the graph polling frequency, what is plotted in the graphs, and the graph
color scheme. To set the polling frequency for all graphs, refer to “Setting the polling
frequency” on page 93.
