Split Second Graph: Disk dashboard report
This dashboard report displays real-time disk utilization for all disks on a SNMP enabled
device. The device must have SNMP credentials specified in Device Properties >
Credentials. This report queries the specified device for a list of all disks and then polls and
graphs each of them for the duration that the report is loaded in the Web browser.
Note: When viewing information for devices running Microsoft Windows, information
gathered via WMI is displayed in real time. Information gathered by SNMP, however, may
reflect a delay of one minute or more. This delay is caused by a limitation in how often
Microsoft Windows updates SNMP values.
