Interface Utilization - "Last Month" View Not Showing Full Month

nchenault

I have an Interface Utilization Report I created for our WAN routers and I need the report to show "Last Months" data...IE 5/01/2016 - 5/31/2016.

Why does the graph not go back to the 1st of the month? I see the dots but no graph lines?

Thank you!!!

you nailed it on the edit re: the retention period.

storage space definitely. I generally push mine to 31 days just so I can always run a "Last Month" report on the 1st. I have definitely seen it longer (up to 90 or more days) but your SQL server is going to take a hit when you ask it to do more work, so there's an obvious cost associated. I would probably increment a week at a time just to be safe. But, to be honest, in a standard environment (small/medium with the right hardware) you probably wouldn't notice much difference.
