Group - Performance: Interface Utilization

This report displays interface utilization information collected during the selected time period from the device/interface in the group that appears at the top of the report. You can configure the data collection for your interfaces through Device Properties > Performance Monitors > Configure Interface Data Collection.

Report Body

Below the date/time picker is a table showing interface utilization across the current group for the selected time period.

• Device. The name and IP address of the device.
• Description. The label for the interface being shown.
• Transmit %. The percentage of available bandwidth used by this interface in transmitting data.
• Receive %. The percentage of available bandwidth used by this interface in receiving data.
• Avg. Transmit. The average number of bytes transmitted through the interface.
• Avg. Receive. The average number of bytes received through the interface.
• Bytes Transmitted. The total number of bytes transmitted through the interface.
• Bytes Received. The total number of bytes received by the interface.

Note: Click the device name to access the Device Status report, and click the description to view the Interface report for that interface.

Note: Values displayed in the table 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.

Split Second Graphs

To see a real-time graph for a device's interface utilization, hover over the interface's description in the Description column.

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.

Report date

Use the date/time picker at the top of the report to select a date range. The date and time format for the date on this report matches the format specified in Program Options > Regional.
