thresholds for the physical or virtual memory usage. The usage ratio is highlighted in yellow

, or This Year icon on the upper right of the graph as needed. Hourly data and
today's data is collected every polling interval, yesterday's, weekly, and monthly data is
collected in hours, and yearly data is collected in days. The statistics graph contains
maximum, minimum, and average memory usage ratios. Place the cursor over a spot in the
curve to view memory usage ratios at the specific time point.
Ping Test
APM pings the Windows XP host at every polling interval. In a ping test, APM sends out an ICMP packet
to the host, and sends at most three packets. If it receives a response, APM considers the ping test a
success and records the response time. If it receives no response after sending out all ICMP packets,
APM considers the ping test a failure. See Figure 17 for the Ping Test area layout.
