Performance: Last Polled Ping Response Time (Specific Interface)
This home-level dashboard report provides graphical illustration of a device's ping response

response time status quickly.

Pie. A 3-D pie graph that displays available ping response time in green.
Gauge. A semi-circle graph (much like a car speedometer) with a pointer that
indicates the the ping response time.
Horizontal bar. A horizontal bar graph (much like a ruler) with a pointer that
indicates the ping response time.
Vertical bar. A vertical bar graph (much like a thermometer) with a pointer that
indicates the ping response time.
Text. A numerical representation of the ping response time. 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).
