About the Ping - Last Poll (Single Device Response Time) report

This device-level dashboard report gives a graphical representation of a device's ping response time at the time of the last poll. Placing this dashboard report in a dashboard will allow you to view a device's ping status quickly, even from across the room.

There are four types of graphs to choose from:

Gauge. A semi-circle graph (much like a car speedometer) with a pointer that indicates the ping response time.
Horizontal bar. A horizontal bar graph (much like a ruler) with a pointer that indicates the ping response time.
Vertical bar. A vertical bar graph (much like a thermometer) with a pointer that indicates the ping response time.
Text. A numerical representation of the disk percentage used. The percentage is displayed in colors that coincide with the WhatsUp threshold colors:
- Red. Above 90%
- Yellow. Between 80% and 90%
- Green. 80% or less

Along with the various types of graphs to choose from, you can also pick the display size of the graph (small, medium, or large).
