What is the trend of network monitor?
I hope that you are asking about the “trend” values in PRTG network monitor and not the trends in use or development of the tool. “Top talkers” are updated every 15 minutes. The trend will give you an idea of the dynamics of these rankings over time. It compares the current ranking to the one in the previous 15 minute interval, so you know if traffic is growing or dropping and how fast compared to the rest. The trend value shown is calculated by subtracting the current position in the list with the position of the previous toplist interval. A value of zero (0) means that an entry is at the same position in the list as in the previous interval, +5 means that the entry has climbed 5 positions. PRTG shows big changes in the list position with a background in various shades of a red to make it easy to see sudden changes. I hope this answers the question you had in mind.
