Examining total statistics
In addition to a graphical representation of the message rates, the following statistics are also generated:
Statistics | Description |
|---|---|
Total Messages | Total number of cataloged messages for the selected period |
Coverage | Percentage of intervals in the selected period that contain messages, indicating how frequently a catalog type occurs |
All Intervals | Data for all intervals in the selected period, including the intervals that do not have any message catalog |
All Non-Zero Intervals | Data for all intervals in the selected period, excluding the intervals that do not have any message catalog |
All Intervals and All Non-Zero Intervals display the following information:
- Total Intervals—Total number of intervals of the specified type
- Average—Average number of messages cataloged per interval
- Maximum—Maximum number of messages cataloged for an interval during the selected period
- Minimum—Minimum number of messages cataloged for an interval during the selected period. Unless the message catalogs are very active, the value for All Intervals Minimum is usually zero.
The bottom of the tab shows the following messages that indicate whether the current catalog statistics are up to date:
- Statistics and Catalogs are in sync.
The catalog is up to date. Statistics are out of date for yyyy-mm-dd, n messages missing.
The catalog’s daily message count for the indicated day does not match the statistics database, and the indicated number of messages is missing.
