Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold User Guide
You can control the number of graphs appearing in the dashboard by changing the
Maximum number of graphs to draw setting. Some devices have numerous interfaces, and
displaying all of them can be too resource-intensive for WhatsUp Gold. Displayed interfaces
are selected based on the order they are received from the database when the number of
interfaces present exceeds the Maximum number of graphs to draw setting.
Note: The Interface Traffic report updates the units of measure displayed based on the traffic
received over the interface. Units are determined per interface, however, and both outgoing
and incoming traffic are evaluated to determine the unit of measure displayed. The smallest
unit of measure is used in the report. For example, if the incoming traffic is measured in Kbps,
but the outgoing traffic is measured in bps, then the dashboard report uses bps as the unit of
measure for the graph for that interface.
