Graph Details Dialog
Graph Details Dialog
By double clicking a graph or by clicking the 
button, located on the top right
side of the graph, it is possible to open the graph details dialog.
The View Graph Details dialog offers seven tabs – 4 for graph information and 3 for table information.
At the bottom of the window it is possible to define whether to show the legend or not and to enable auto-refreshing for the graphs (which can slow down the usage for graphs with many sensors).
Clicking the Edit button opens the Edit Graph Dialog.
The Graph: 5 Minutes tab displays standard graphing information for the last five minutes (according to the set interval).
The Graph: 24 Hours tab displays standard graphing information for the last 24 hours (in 5 minute averages).
The Graph: 30 days tab displays standard graphing information for the last 30 days (in hourly averages).
The Graph: 365 days displays standard graphing information for the last year (in daily averages).
Zooming is done by dragging the mouse (while keeping the left mouse button down) from the top left to the bottom right of the region one wants to zoom in. To move the graph after zooming in click the graph with the right mouse button and keep the button pressed while moving the mouse.
In order to zoom out, one needs to drag the mouse from the bottom right to the top left of the region one wants to zoom out from.
Each of these graphs is equipped with a right-click context menu. When right clicking on the appropriate table, a menu will appear.
Here, you have the option to copy the graph to the clipboard, print the graph, or zoom out. Zooming out, basically allows you to zoom back to the complete chart after zooming in.
Note: Copying the graph will also include the Legend information shown at the bottom of the graph.
The Table: 24 Hours tab displays a data table with the data for the last 24 hours.
In the case of traffic sensors, information about the Bandwidth Traffic IN, the Bandwidth Traffic OUT, the SUM of the traffic, as well as the coverage value is included. This value tells you whether the monitoring was on all the time and covered the complete time period.
If you need reliable and full data from your monitoring this value should always be 100% or close to 100%.
Note: If the coverage is below 100% but PRTG was running all the time then there is a technical problem with the sensor. PRTG was not able to get all the data it needs to completely calculate the traffic over time. Most common reasons are network problems (e.g. packet loss, connectivity issues) and device problems (e.g. some devices limit the number of SNMP request per minute, so if they are scanned too frequently a number of requests remains unanswered).
In the case of other types of sensors, merely the value chart is displayed:
At the bottom of this graph you will find a section which represents the total sum for the device, broken up into the sections of Volume and Average.
The Table: 30 Days tab, displays a table listing pertinent information, as regards the last 30 days.
The Table: 365 Days tab, displays a table listing pertinent information, as regards the last year.
Each of these tables is equipped with a right-click context menu. When right clicking on the appropriate table, a menu will appear.
Here, you have the option to copy the information to the clipboard, print the table, save the table to an HTML file, or save the table as an XLS (Excel) data file.
When wishing to save the information (either as HTML or as XLS) a menu will open allowing you to select a directory where to save the respective data file.
