Sample interval in SolarWinds VNQM

The sample interval dictates the precision of your generated chart. A single point or bar is plotted for each sample interval. If a sample interval spans multiple polls, polled data is automatically summarized and plotted as a single point or bar on the chart.

Click the chart to open the Custom Chart page, and select an interval from the Adjust Sample Interval drop down.

Due to limits of memory allocation, some combinations of time periods and sample intervals can require too much system resources to display, due to the large number of polled data points. As a result, charts might not be displayed if the time period is too long or if the sample interval is too short.
