Hello everyone,

 

What is roll up interval in views? Is it the refresh time to show new collected Data?

Thank you.

vrops as far as i am aware does not roll any stats up. You will allways get the 5 min stats. When your view refreshes it will only show you the new stats after the 5 min collection is complete

Meaning I'll get the last collected data by setting the roll up to 5min ?

I got it now. I have not used it on a list view so not 100% sure what it will do for you but give you like an average figure for your time settings. I have used it in trend views. When rolling it up into a day it will flatten the line out.

I have cut this down from 5 days to 2 days for demo. The below is a standard trend view on one of my production clusters.As you can see it has lots of spikes

Now by changing the roll up to 1 h it has less spikes

And again to 1 day

I tend to use this depending on who is viewing the report. Management seems to not like to many spikes.
