Hi guys, please take a look at this graphs and tell me what you think:
To me the daily graph has a 5.8 Mbps peak and that is nowhere to be seen on the weekly graph, why is this?
Seems to me the graphs are not the same…
Is there a way to export this data to a file?
Here’s another image, how come today I have a 20mbps peak and that is nowhere to be seen on the other graphics?
Because the graphs are averaging X samples over Y time. The larger Y the more samples are smaller since IP traffic is generally bursty. If you were to run a constant-bit-rate application at R for 45 minutes then you would see a 30 minute average at the rate since all of the samples would be at R.
Y values, are mbps. X values are time, it doesnt matter if X values are in hours or days, Y values should always be the same…
What am I missing here?
The title of the graphs say it all. Daily is a 5 minute average, weekly is a 30 minute average. It’s not recording the peak, the daily graph is taking all the traffic that happened over 5 minutes and is giving you an average for those 5 minutes in a single time space. Then the weekly is taking all the traffic from the 6 of the “5 minute” time slices and averaging them together to give you a time slice on the weekly graph.
