> #### Enhanced graphing

> The following enhancements related to graphing are available in Fathom Management Version 3.0A:

> - The graphing mechanism has been extended with the addition of a persistent data cache. This persistent data cache allows you to obtain resource data for graphs to cover longer periods of time than were possible previously, and to transcend stops and restarts in Fathom.
> Additionally, you can specify for each resource the maximum period of time that a resource's data is retained. The period of time you specify determines the amount of space that the data cache files can expand to and, consequently, the runtime cost to generate a graph since increased data means increased processing.

> - A new high/low graph type and new, user-specified data averaging are now available. Both of these new features allow you to produce the most useful visual representation of your data when the amount of data exceeds that which can be depicted in an individual graph.
> - A new interface for configuring viewlet graphs is included in this version. The interface allows you more choice in the type of graph Fathom produces as well as other viewlet and graph options.
> - Numerous graphs have been extended with threshold values. These values are derived from Fathom rules that you have set on the resources and relate to the metrics being graphed.
