Monitor report body for device reports

• Below the date/time picker, Monitor, and Chart size boxes is a graph showing the chosen monitor for the selected time period. Each point on the graph corresponds with an entry in the graph data table below.

Split Second Graph - Real Time

Under the main report graph is a Split Second Graph that displays real-time data for the WMI or SNMP custom performance monitor.

Note: Split Second Graphs are not available in WhatsUp Gold Standard Edition.

Note: Split Second Graphs are not available in VMware host reports.

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.

Note: Split Second Graphs are not available with Active Script performance monitors.

At the bottom of the graph, the report displays the average monitor percentages collected during the time period:

• Minimum. The minimum monitor percentage experienced.
• Maximum. The maximum percentage experienced.
• Average. The average monitor percentage across all sample data for this period.

Note: Values displayed in the graph are the average values for the selected time period. Values displayed in the summary are the minimum, maximum, and average values for the selected time period. If raw polling data has been averaged into hourly or daily summarized data, the values for min and average, or maximum and average can be different. In some cases, they may be very different if there was a period of time when polled values were much higher or lower than normal.

You can verify your report rollup settings on the WhatsUp Gold console via Program Options > Report Data.
