The application's history aggregator function enables you to define and run jobs to sum data in the database repository for historical reporting purposes. For example, you can view the sum of usage across multiple resources, by database.
The trending of historical data enables you to see patterns of your data across your entire network. For example, if you set up a graph that shows the disk capacity of a computer between January 1 and December 31, you can view "trended" data that will predict the disk capacity for that computer over the next 6 months. The trended data will appear as a dashed line that is appended to the last probed or scanned data point.
The length of time for how far in the future that trended data will show is determined by 25% of the length of time displayed in the graph itself. For example, if the data in the non-trended portion of the graph displays data between January 1 and December 31, the predicted trend for that data will be shown for the next 3 months (January 1 to December 31 = 12 months, 25% of 12 months = 3 months trended). You can change the amount of time trended by changing the length of time of the graphed data using the Limit days from and To fields.
