Viewing Forecasts

All previously created/saved forecasts can be accessed from the Investigate > Forecasts page. Forecasts that are marked Complete under the Status column are ready to view.

Clicking on a forecast opens a detailed view with two sections:

Forecast timeline

The forecast timeline plots the data aggregated by the base report (solid lines) and shows the extrapolations (broken lines) up to the horizon of the forecast. Hovering over a line will show the upper and lower bounds of potential deviation (highlighted region), as well as additional details for the data element used to aggregate the data (hosts, applications, etc.).

The timeline can be viewed as either a line or step graph.

Inbound events

In addition to the timeline, the forecast details view includes a table listing the following information for each host, application, etc.:

• Rank (based on the forecast’s calculated data)

• Date and time when the calculated data is expected to reach the expected maximum value

• Expected maximum value of the calculated data

• Upper bound for deviation in the calculated data’s expected maximum

When applicable, the table links directly to the relevant Explore summary page for each element. The base report for the forecast can also be re-run at any time by clicking the View Report button.
