Each graph should show the info icon to give a tooltip with information on the purpose of the graph, what values are being depicted along with their meanings, advice on what to look for, etc. Having a graph is probably not helpful to many users unless they understand what they are looking at. Seeing which variables are being plotted may not be enough information to help a user understand what they are seeing.
For instance, knowing common thresholds, or what it means if a value is trending up/down, a glossary of each metric, etc., would help a user understand what the graph is depicting and why it is important. Many users are not experts so this would be essential to not only help less-experienced users, but also to help educate them and make them better skilled. The overall goal should be that PMM contains enough information to make a user feel like an expert without having to immediately navigate away from PMM to do a lot of reading to help them understand the graph. In a sense, utilization of PMM could be a form of training and taking advantage of Percona expertise.
