For eg., if there are 5 monitors in a Monitor Group and one monitor is down, Monitor Group availability is calculated as 80% available (one monitor - 20%). - **Do not include Scheduled Maintenance in availability reporting**: If you select this option, you can exclude scheduled maintenance data from availability reports. - **Do not include Unmanaged state in availability reporting**: If you select this option, you can exclude unmanaged state data from availability reports. - **Do not include Product Downtime in availability reporting**: If you select this option, you can exclude product downtime data from availability reports. **Note:** [Refer here](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/help/availability_report_calculation.html) to learn more about Availability report calculation. **Attributes Reporting**: - **Plot attributes report with Bar chart**: If you select this option, you can view the attributes report in the form of bar charts. - **Plot attributes report with Line Graph**: If you select this option, you can view the attributes report in the form of line graphs. - **Show Plot shape in graph**: By selecting this option, you can see the dots / blobs in the line graphs. - **Show Poll Data Custom Time dropdown**: By selecting this option, you can enable the **Show Polled Data** and **Custom Time** dropdowns in all the reports and allows you to choose time periods for the same. - **Moving Average**: A simple moving average is the unweighted mean of the previous n data points. For example, a 10-day simple moving average of attribute value like CPU utilization is the mean of the previous 10 days' CPU Utilization value. By selecting this option, you can add moving average graph in the 7, 30 graphs of the various monitors. **Forecast Reporting**: Allows you to enable the use of **Machine Learning techniques** for more reliable reporting. **Dashboard Reporting**: Allows you to choose the PDF orientation of the dashboard report files. **Export:** Allows you to choose the **date and time format** for appending with the file names of the exported report files. **Note:** - **From Applications Manager version 177200**, the **Time Format for Export** option is supported, allowing you to append the selected time format to exported report file names. - **From Applications Manager version 175800**, the option to enable or disable Machine Learning for **Forecast Report** generation has been removed, as the Machine Learning algorithm will be used by default. ## Data Retention To plot graphs and generate reports, Applications Manager collects data from the monitors at regular intervals. By default, Applications Manager aggregates the performance data into hourly data at the end of each hour. The hourly data thus calculated will be aggregated into daily data at the end of each day. The aggregated data will be used in graphs and reports. Applications Manager allows you to maintain the database with the required data. By default, the detailed data will be maintained for six hours max, the hourly data for 90 days and the daily data for 365 days. After the specified period, the database will be cleaned up automatically.
