Trends
Optimize performs 16 different types of diagnoses (above normal, below normal, staying in upward trend, staying in downward trend, etc.) on all KPI instances over the KPI’s collection interval. You can use this information to watch for trends in performance and to help determine ways to improve business processes and system components that continue to perform outside their normal range.
When Optimize diagnoses a trend, it places a trend icon (for example: Trend icon) on the listing for the KPI instance on the KPI Summary page as well as on the KPI Instance Detail page. Place the mouse pointer on a diagnosis trend icon to see a brief description of the trend.
For a complete list of trend icons, see Optimize Icons.
