Report Body

Below the date/time picker is a graph showing the disk utilization 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 Disk Utilization

Under the main report graph is a Split Second Graph that displays real-time utilization data for the disk.

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.

Below the Split Second Graph, the report displays the average disk utilization percentages collected during the time period:

• Total Size. The size of the disk being monitored.
• Min Used. The minimum amount of disk space used.
• Max Used. The maximum amount of disk space used.
• Avg Used. The average amount of disk spaced in use during the time period.
• Min Utilization %. The minimum disk utilization percentage experienced.
• Max Utilization %.  The maximum disk utilization percentage experienced.
• Avg Utilization %. The average disk utilization percentage across all sample data for this time period.

If multiple disks are available for the device and you have selected to show All Disks in the Select Disk list, you can select the disk(s) you want to display in the report body graph data. In the Summary section, click to select the check box(es) for the disk graph(s) you want to view.

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.
