About the Split Second Graph: CPU Gauge report

This dashboard report displays real-time CPU utilization for all CPUs on an SNMP-enabled device. The device must have SNMP credentials specified in Device Properties > Credentials. This report queries the specified device for a list of all CPUs and then polls and graphs each of them for the duration that the report is loaded in the web browser.

Note: The transparent dial indicates the CPU minimum or maximum utilization percentage and the solid dial indicates the current CPU utilization percentage. If there are two CPUs on a device, only data for one CPU displays on the gauge at a time. Click a CPU in the legend (Intel 1 or Intel 2) to place focus on a particular CPU gauge.

Note: When viewing information for devices running Microsoft Windows, information gathered via WMI is displayed in real time. Information gathered by SNMP, however, may reflect a delay of one minute or more. This delay is caused by a limitation in how often Microsoft Windows updates SNMP values.

To configure this dashboard report in WhatsUp Gold:

1. In the dashboard report title bar, select Menu > Configure. The Configure Report dialog appears.
2. Enter or select the appropriate information in the following boxes.
   • Report name. Enter a title for the dashboard report. This name appears in the title bar of the dashboard report pane.
   • Device. Select a device for the report by clicking the browse (...) button.
   • Graph type. Select a graph size for the gauge, either Small, Medium, or Large.
   • Refresh interval (seconds). Enter an amount of time (in seconds) for how often you would like the graph to refresh. Essentially, when the graph refreshes, it is polling for more data and then displaying that new data.

   Note: The faster the refresh interval, the more granular the chart data will be. Slower poll intervals will result in data that is more normalized and will have less detail.

   • Data interval (seconds). This value determines the amount of time that WhatsUp Gold uses to determine the gauge's average value. For example, if the gauge's data interval is set to 60 seconds, the value reported on the gauge is calculated by averaging the minimum value and the maximum value reported over that 60 second timeframe.
3. Click OK to save changes.
