Forecast trends for metric graphs
Use forecasting to predict trends in metric graphs based on historical data:
-
In the Dashboard, locate the metric graph to forecast and click Forecast from the graph menu.

-
Select the date and time for the end of the predicted trend timeframe.
The end date and time must be a minimum of two days in the future, up to a maximum of one year.

-
Click Forecast.
The forecast shows the predicted metric trend for the selected timeframe. The following example shows that node disk usage will double from 20% to 40% in one month. In this case, admins should consider adding capacity now.
