Split Second Graph: Ping Gauge

This workspace report displays real-time PING response time for all network interfaces on a device. This report queries the database for a list of all configured network interfaces and then polls and graphs each of them for the duration that the report is loaded in the Web browser.

To configure this workspace report in WhatsUp Gold:

  1. In the title bar of the workspace report pane, select Menu > Configure. The Configure Report dialog appears.
  2. Enter or select the appropriate information in the following fields.
    • Report name. Enter a title for the workspace report. This name appears in the title bar of the workspace report's pane.
    • Device. Select a device for the report by clicking the browse (...) button.
    • Interface to graph. For devices with more than one interface, select an interface to graph by clicking the Browse (...) button.
    • Graph type. Select a graph size for the gauge, either Small, Medium, or Large.
    • Maximum ping response time (ms). The maximum number displayed on the gauge. Enter a number (in ms) for this maximum time.
    • Refresh interval (seconds). Enter an amount of time (in seconds) for how often you would like the graph to refresh. Essentially, when the graph refreshes, it is polling for more data and then displaying that new data.

      Note: The faster the refresh interval, the more granular the chart data will be. Slower poll intervals will result in data that is more normalized and will have less detail.

    • Data interval (seconds). This value determines the amount of time that WhatsUp Gold uses to determine the gauge's average value. For example, if the gauge's data interval is set to 60 seconds, the value reported on the gauge is calculated by averaging the minimum value and the maximum value reported over that 60 second timeframe.
