Changing Performance and Capacity Monitor home page settings

You can change the time interval settings for the graphs on the Performance and Capacity Monitor home page.

Changing the automatic update frequency of Current Resource Utilization graphs

The Current Resource Utilization graphs default to an auto-update value of 1 minute; however, you can specify a longer time interval, if required.

To change the duration of time between updates:
  1. In the upper right corner of the Current Resource Utilization section, click the menu next to Auto-update in.
  2. Select one of the following preset values: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 15 minutes.

    The data in the graphs refreshes according to the time interval you chose.

Changing the time interval of the data that is displayed in the details pane

The home page defaults to a 4-hour time interval for the data in the details section. However, you can specify a longer time interval. You can also specify custom dates and times. The minimum time interval is 4 hours, and the maximum time interval is one year from the current date and time.

The details section refreshes and displays the updated content that is based on the time interval you choose. After the window refreshes, the latest entry for the data ends with the current time. The Performance and Capacity Monitor displays the data in this interval, every time you refresh the view, unless you change the interval again.

To change the time interval, complete the following steps:
  1. Click the menu in the upper right corner of the details section.
  2. Select one of the following preset values: Last 4 Hours, Last Day, Last Week, Last Month, or Last Year. Otherwise select Custom.

    If you selected Custom, a window is displayed. Continue to the next step.

  3. Specify the date and time information in the Start Date and End Date fields, or click the calendar icon to choose the start date from the calendar.
  4. Click OK to apply your changes.
Note: If you change the time interval of one view, then the interval change applies only to that view. For example, if you change the time interval for the Server Overview page to last week, the time interval for the Processor Trend view remains last 4 hours.
