Hi,

I have run a state history but cannot see detail but in a performance graph is show a detail e.g. ping service. see an attached picture. what is the difference of detail?

Thank you.

Hi,

Those two images are showing different types of data. The state history reports shows any state change by the host or service during the time period. For example, if the host was down or unreachable.

See: State Types

The performance graph is for displaying optional time-series performance data return by the plugin. For example, the ping check in your graph will return stats for the time required (rta or round trip average) for the reply and the number of packets lost.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks.
