Report Body

Below the date/time picker is a graph showing ping response times 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 Ping Response Time

Under the main report graph is a Split Second Graph that displays real-time ping response data.

Below the Split Second Graph, the report displays the summary for ping response time during the selected time period:

• Min. Response Time. The minimum amount of time (in milliseconds) that it took for the interface to respond to a ping over the selected time period.
• Max Response Time. The maximum amount of time (in milliseconds) that it took for the interface to respond to a ping over the selected time period.
• Avg. Response Time. The average amount of time (in milliseconds that it took for the interface to respond to a ping over the selected time period.

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

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

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.
