Disk Trend Analysis

We are running NPM 10.0. Is it possible to create a disk trend analysis report that can be emailed on a weekly basis for a selected group of servers. I have been able to generate a report but a graph would be preferred, is this possible? It is for our managers and they don't like reports with lots of figures in them, that just want to see a graph that they can quickly visualise.

Thanks

Also depending on the level of depth and functionality you want, you also might want to check out Profiler, see here and here for more info

Can anyone assist with this? I have the report but would prefer a graph for disk trend?

Thanks

Currently there is no trending however this is something several of us have asked for so hopefully it is on the road map.

You can put trends on graphs, including disk drive graphs, see here. The purple line is a trend line. You can edit the chart and specify the end date in the future and based on previous polling using the least squares formula it will trend out.

Would this cover what you are looking for?

Hmmm that might be alright for what we are after. I didn't see that was there. Is there such a graph available that you can see disk space remaining (rather than percentage)?

Brandon,

I'd rather expect some more synthetic graph with total space used on all volumes with trend - something like:

Would be much useful than reports.

Brandon,

How could I replicate this trend data specifically the ability to extend it into the future in report writer? I want to be able to run a report based on utilization on key WAN links over the past 6 months and forecast which ones, if any, will be at X% in 3 months.
