  • The Servers section refreshes data automatically every 120 seconds. Immediate data refreshes occur when you open the dashboard page, select a site, or click Refresh. The next data refresh does not start until the previous refresh completes. Thus, if you click Refresh during a data refresh, a popup window appears asking you to try again later.

    Refresh button

  • The Storage, Sessions, and Clients sections refresh data automatically at a specific time every day. Immediate data refreshes occur when you open the dashboard page or select a site.

  • You can click the icon to show and configure dashboard settings for the site that you select from the drop-down menu in the upper-left corner.

    Dashboard settings

    Dashboard settings let you:

    • Set warning and critical thresholds for:
      • CPU usage
      • Memory usage
      • Network (send)
      • Network (receive)
    • Set how much space in a location is available for recording storage and the warning thresholds for the space use. When a warning or critical threshold is reached, the relevant entry is displayed with an orange or red icon respectively.

      Storage settings

    • Enable storage consumption forecast. Storage consumption forecast allows you to predict resource usage and take precautions in advance. After you enable the feature, a storage consumption forecast for the next 7 days can be generated based on sufficient historical consumption data of approximately one month. You can view the forecast on the Total size of all recordings chart of the Storage section.

    When the storage consumption forecast is not enabled, the Total size of all recordings chart shows only the actual consumption data over the past 7 days. For example:

    When storage consumption forecast is not enabled

    When the storage consumption forecast is enabled, the Total size of all recordings chart shows not only the actual consumption data over the past 7 days but also a consumption forecast for the next 7 days. For example:

    A consumption forecast requires sufficient historical data of approximately one month. For example, see the following prompt:
