Report Body

Below the date/time picker is a graph showing interface utilization for the selected time period. Each point on the graph corresponds with an entry in the graph data table below. In Octets are graphed with an orange line, while Out Octets are graphed using blue.

Split Second Graph - Real-Time Interface Utilization

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

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

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.

Under the Split Second Graph, the report displays a summary of data for the interface collected during the time period:

• Min. The minimum bits per second rate experienced on the interface.
• Max. The maximum bits per second rate experienced on the interface.
• Avg. The average bits per second rate experienced on the interface during the time period.
• Min Utilization %. The minimum interface utilization percentage experienced.
• Max Utilization %. The maximum interface utilization percentage experienced.
• Avg Utilization %. The average interface utilization percentage across all sample data for this time period.

Date range
