Min/Max/Average of Network Utilization

This widget provides a chart of the minimum, maximum, and average bits per second transmitted and received over a cloud instance for a custom period of time. The chart displays on the Cloud Instance/VM Details page.

All metric data polls from cloud service APIs. This data differs from OS metrics.

The chart displays bytes per second in a chart with an editable zoom range from hours to days to months up to a year, with a default of today and by hour, 12 hours, and 24 hours. You can select the amount of historical data to display, with a default of last full day. Data options enabled by default include showing a trend line and the 95th percentile line.

These charts define the range of transmit and receive rates over the selected sample interval. In other words, the sample interval displays as the width of each box, the minimum transmit and receive rates define the bottom edges of their respective boxes, and the maximum transmit and receive rates define the top edges. The averages for both transmit and receive rates are designated by a dot within each of their respective boxes.

Select data lines below the charts to show and hide.

Hover over points in time on the chart for details data:

Sample interval and time periods

• Each sample interval is represented by a bar. Data within a selected sample interval is summarized automatically.
