Refresh interval (seconds). Enter an amount of time (in seconds) for how often you
would like the graph to refresh. Essentially, when the graph refreshes, it is polling for
more data and then displaying that new data.
Note: The faster the refresh interval, the more granular the chart data will be. Slower poll
intervals will result in data that is more normalized and will have less detail.
Data interval (seconds). Enter an amount of time (in seconds) for how long you
would like the data in the graph to be displayed. Think of this as the X axis for the
graph.
Note: Specifying larger values for this setting is allowed, but may adversely affect the refresh
interval for a graph. The optimum value is determined by the memory and speed of your
Web server.

Split Second Graph: Interface dashboard report
This dashboard report displays real-time interface utilization for an SNMP enabled device. The
device must have SNMP credentials specified in Device Properties > Credentials.
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.
Note: This dashboard report is only available on Home dashboard views.
