KnightGuard.Net User's Guide
Statistical Reports

Every week, you'll receive an e-mail report of the previous week's activity. You'll see at a glance how many times your site was monitored, how many times your site was not responsive, responded too slow, and the minimum, maximum and average page retrieval times for each day of the week.

Here's an example of the standard HTML based e-mail report:

These statistics show that on any given day, the URL in question was monitored 96 times, except on Tuesday when the count is 95. Perhaps network congestion prevented an accurate monitoring cycle, and KnightGuard.Net aborted the cycle rather than report a false alarm.

On Wednesday, the monitored URL failed to respond twice.

On Thursday, the site took longer than the desired time (see Sensitivity) to retrieve the page. Also in Thursday, the average page retrieval time was 0.347 seconds. Page retrieval times exclude error conditions like failures and late retrievals.
