Zoom in on a line
graph
or stacked area graph
In the CloudWatch console,
you can use the mini-map zoom feature
to focus
on sections
of line graphs and stacked area graphs
without changing
between zoomed-in and zoomed-out views.
For example,
you can use the mini-map zoom feature
to focus
on a peak
in a line graph,
so
that you can compare the spike against other metrics
in your dashboard
from the same timeline.
The procedures
in this section describe
how to use the zoom feature.
In the preceding image,
the zoom feature focuses
on a spike
in a line graph
that's related
to the input bytes processing rate
while also showing other line graphs
in the dashboard
that focus
on sections
from the same timeline.
