you in there for my use the best change would be if you take the data average
over a period put it in a Sunday - Saturday array and plot the average by hour
or 5 min segment for a 7 day work week. This view would give a work week
load graph that would help on load balancing scheduled tasks and new project in
the work week.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=884214116-18012006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I am
new to this wonderfully tool (Hobbit) and still trying to understand the
basics. I don't know yet how easy it is to filter the data or extract
and create a new database. I would assume that pulling the data
periodically and building a summary database would be the easy approach. Another
approach would be to build a day of the week data base with the same data as the
load data. I don't know yet if the graphing tool has a adequate summary
function for the task given day of the week, hour, time, date, load order.

<DIV><SPAN class=884214116-18012006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Right
now I have more questions than answers, I will be reading and testing to get my
answers but in the mean time I thought I would add my suggestion as long as your
research is already headed that way.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><SPAN

<DIV><SPAN class=559251601-18012006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am looking at
changing the graph for load average (if possible). Actually, this applies to a
few of the graphs.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=559251601-18012006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Typically, our
systems are very busy during the day yet at night are mostly idle (load
average of around 10 to 12. When you look at the graphs produced from a
capacity planning perspective, for the last 48 hours, you get accurate values,
but from a 576 day graph, the load average is much lower as it is taking into
account the out of hours period.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=559251601-18012006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was thinking it
would be nice to see a line plotted on the same graph showing the peak value
for the sample rather than the average.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
