I created a bandwidth report and set it to run weekly from Monday to Sunday. The problem I'm having is that PRTG is not showing me the correct data in the graphs. For example, we have a 20/20 Mbps circuit and the report is telling me the maximum bandwidth utilization over the week was 3 Mbps. I am 200% sure that is not correct.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

Kindly note that the 2, 30 and 365 graphs display average values (performance-wise). The actual settings for those graphs are defined within Setup > System Administration > User Interface.

To generate a graph with raw readings or a custom average, kindly use the "Historic Data tab" you can use one of the available average intervals.

Please note that if the selected period is larger than 40 days PRTG will automatically increase the Average Interval to 1 hour average (because of the overwhelming amount of samples and data that the report would contain). This means that if you want to check the exact raw readings that were ever measured, you must perform 30-days reports at a time.

Best regards
