1. A computer-implemented method of monitoring system components, comprising: receiving a first dataset and a second dataset; determining a first log difference between a logarithm of a maximum value of the first dataset and a logarithm of a minimum value of the first dataset; determining a second log difference between a logarithm of a maximum value of the second dataset and a logarithm of a minimum value of the second dataset; selecting, based at least in part on the first and second log differences, between a linear chart scaling and a logarithmic chart scaling for the first dataset, wherein selecting between the linear and logarithmic chart scalings for the first dataset comprises: comparing the first log difference and the second log difference with a threshold, determining a first indicator of a distribution of values in the first dataset, determining a second indicator of a distribution of values in the second dataset, and selecting between the linear and logarithmic chart scalings based on the comparisons and based on the first and second indicators; selecting, based at least in part on the first and second log differences, between a linear chart scaling and a logarithmic chart scaling for the second dataset; and causing a user interface to display a chart in which the first dataset is plotted using the selected chart scaling for the first dataset and in which the second dataset is plotted using the selected chart scaling for the second dataset.
