Min/Max/Average Response Time and Packet Loss Chart

This resource simultaneously provides charts of both the minimum, maximum and average response time and the minimum, maximum, and average percentage packet loss of the selected node over the same custom period of time. For both response time and packet loss, the chart shows a box that defines the range of each measurement over the selected sample interval. In other words, the sample interval displays as the width of the box, the minimum response time or packet loss defines the bottom edge of the box, and the maximum response time or packet loss defines the top edge. The average is designated by a dot within the box.

Notes:

•	Each sample interval is represented by a bar. Data within a selected sample interval is summarized automatically.

•	Due to limits of memory allocation, some combinations of time periods and sample intervals may require too many system resources to display, due to the large number of polled data points. As a result, charts may not display if the time period is too long or if the sample interval is too small.

Clicking the chart opens the Custom Chart – Node page. This page shows the chart with a number of customization options in the Customize Chart area. For more information about the Custom Chart page and Customize Chart options, see “Custom Chart Page”.
