WhatsUp Gold

The Predictive Trending Report displays a suite of reports that present historical and average statistics for common performance measures so you can better anticipate how the selected device or devices will perform in the future. This allows you to take action before there is a problem if a metric is trending toward a critical limit.

Predictive trending provides the following five individual dashboard reports:

CPU Utilization. Reports average CPU utilization percentage for each individual processor.
Memory Utilization. Reports both physical and virtual memory capacity and usage.
Disk Utilization. Reports disk utilization percentage for individual drives.
Interface Utilization. Reports measurements for network traffic across network interfaces.
Ping Response Time. Reports minimum, maximum, and average response times.

Please note, this dashboard is completely static. Additional reports cannot be added and the five default reports described previously cannot be removed. Only the device(s) displayed (), reporting time frame (), and applied business hours () may be modified.
