Time slots are five minutes long, one minute long, or 30 seconds long (depends on their type). They always start at five minutes (for example, 12:00, 12:05, 12:10, 12:15), one minute, or 30 seconds (for example,12:00:00, 12:02:03) respectively. The time window consists of more neighboring time slots. After entering the Analysis page, the charts display the last 12 hours. The time cursor is at the position of the last time slot. The selected time slot or time window and profile name is always displayed in the title of the tab. The time window can be changed in the following ways:
-
By clicking a single time slot in the chart. This moves the time cursor to the selected position.
-
By dragging the cursor in the chart using the left mouse button. This selects a time window. The selected time window can be later adjusted by dragging its center of edges.
The charts and statistics table automatically update after selecting a new time slot and they have the following limitation: when moving the cursor to the area with expired (and deleted) data, the statistics are calculated from inaccurate RRD data. This area is differentiated by the gray background in the left part of the chart and when RRD data is used. The statistics table displays a warning about the inaccuracy of the data.
