## Making Graphs

In order to graph SystemTap scripts you must have a script open in the IDE Perspective, and the Run->Run w/ Chart option must be used. If you are unfamiliar with how to load or write a SystemTap script, please review the IDE Tutorial in the SystemTap IDE User's Guide.
A tutorial has been written to guide the user through the execution and charting of a provided script. Any script can be used however that provides consistent data along with a regular expression (regex). For instructions on using regex see our Regex Reference Page.
