AI Forecasting

The AI Forecasting page shows the forecast of up to ten interfaces. Instructions on how to run a forecast may be found on the Interfaces page. After a forecast is complete, the AI Forecasting page displays the results.

Here, the in- and out-utilizations are summarized for each selected interface, as well as the predicted percentage change (up or down) for the next 7 days and 30 days. If the expected high value of the prediction range exceeds the threshold, the number of days until that happens is shown in the May Exceed column. If the expected value of the prediction exceeds the threshold, the number of days until that happens is shown in the Likely to Exceed column.

It is possible that new or lightly used interfaces do not have enough data to a accurately predict their utilizations in the future. If this occurs, a red icon will appear over “View Details”. You can hover over the icon for more information.

Click on the blue icon in View Details to render the historical data used to train the algorithm and the predicted values:

The yellow region shows historical data. The green region shows the predictions, with the expected normal range, based on the natural variability of the data.

Closing the summary table deletes the forecast data. You can regenerate the data by entering the desired time range and thresholds. Then click Show Forecast.
