The graph-tool Configure menu and the Configuration dialog
box
The Configure menu contains options of opening,
editing, and saving onperf configuration information.
The Configure menu provides the following options.
Edit Configuration
Brings up the Configuration dialog box, which allows you to change
the settings for the current data-collector buffer, graph-tool display
options, and data-collector options. The Configuration dialog box
appears in The Configuration dialog box.
Open Configuration
Restarts onperf with the settings that are stored in the
configuration file. Unsaved data in the data-collector buffer is lost.
If no configuration file is specified and the default does not exist,
the following error message appears:
Open file filename failed.
If
the specified configuration file does not exist, onperf prompts
for one.
Save Configuration
Saves the current configuration to a file. If no configuration
file is currently specified, onperf prompts for one.
Save Configuration As
Saves a configuration file. This option always prompts for a filename.
To configure data-collector options, graph-display options,
and metrics about which to collect data, choose the Edit Configuration option

The Configuration dialog box provides the following options
for configuring display.
Option
Use
History Buffer Configuration
Allows you to select a metric class and metric scope to include
in the data-collector buffer. The data collector gathers information
about all metrics that belong to the indicated class and scope.
Graph Display Options
Allows you to adjust the size of the graph portion that scrolls
off to the left when the display reaches the right edge, the initial
time interval that the graph is to span, and the frequency with which
the display is updated.
Data Collector Options
Controls the collection of data. The sample interval indicates
the amount of time to wait between recorded samples. The history depth
indicates the number of samples to retain in the data-collector buffer.
The save mode indicates the data-collector data should be saved in
binary or ASCII format.
