Re: Compare activity from two separate days
Thanks for responding but (as I think you guessed) neither option is going to work for me. I need the time frame to be split a couple of weeks to be of use. Most of our changes happen over the weekend so going back 24 hours is of no value. Ideally, I would want to compare known busy periods. So it really needs to be an arbitrary date versus another arbitrary date. Dashboards aren’t really an option, because of the number of hosts involved. I’ve tried mucking about selecting individual hosts, with the selection option on the graphs, but I tend to get lost after the first 20 or so (can they be ordered?). Reports don’t work because the number of graphs is limited and trying to view this amount of data on a single graph is pointless.19Views0likes0CommentsCompare activity from two separate days
Can we have functionality to compare current/recent performance against a “baseline” period? I really need to compare CPU ready over from around 100 hosts, before and after a change was made to reduce it. Comparing stats over a month is a waste of time as the spikes are averaged, looking at alert data is a chore as it needs to take account of the number alerts and the amount of time the alerts condition exists (and even that is misleading). The only way I can think of to properly compare the stats is to select a period to use as a baseline to compare the current stats with. As it stands that requires exporting performance stats to Excel (nightmare) and graphing from there (even worse). I might be able to find a way using the api but this feels like it should be baked in functionality. More than happy to take other suggestions but I am pretty sure this is the only way to go.101Views21likes3Comments
