Last Polled Memory Utilization (Specific Aspect)
This home-level dashboard report provides graphical illustration of device memory utilization
at the time of the last poll. Placing this dashboard report in a dashboard allows you to view
device memory status quickly.
There are five types of graphs to choose from:
Pie. A 3-D pie graph that displays available memory space in green, and used space in
red.
Gauge. A semi-circle graph (much like a car speedometer) with a pointer that
indicates the memory percentage used.
Horizontal bar. A horizontal bar graph (much like a ruler) with a pointer that
indicates the memory percentage used.
Vertical bar. A vertical bar graph (much like a thermometer) with a pointer that
indicates the memory percentage used.
Text. A numerical representation of the memory percentage used. The percentage is
displayed in colors that coincide with the WhatsUp threshold colors:
Red. Above 90%
Yellow. Between 80% and 90%
Green. 80% or less
Along with the various types of graphs to choose from, you can also pick the display size of
the graph (small, medium, or large).
Under each type of graph, the memory size is listed in MBs, along with the percentages for
used and free space.
