Interface Utilization: Interface Traffic Last X hours/days (Single Device)

This device-level dashboard report displays a line graph that details the interface traffic for a device during a selected time period. Adding this dashboard report to a dashboard allows you to easily monitor interfaces experiencing problems.

You can control the number of graphs appearing in the dashboard by changing the Maximum number of graphs to draw setting. Some devices have numerous interfaces, and displaying all of them can be too resource-intensive for WhatsUp Gold. Displayed interfaces are selected based on the order they are received from the database when the number of interfaces present exceeds the Maximum number of graphs to draw setting.

Note: The Interface Traffic report updates the units of measure displayed based on the traffic received over the interface. Units are determined per interface, however, and both outgoing and incoming traffic are evaluated to determine the unit of measure displayed. The smallest unit of measure is used in the report. For example, if the incoming traffic is measured in Kbps, but the outgoing traffic is measured in bps, then the dashboard report uses bps as the unit of measure for the graph for that interface.
