Interface Utilization Spike and Interface Utilization Drop Insights are Kentik Insights that automatically analyze interface utilization changes via the SNMP interface input bit rate. An Insight is fired when it detects a particular pattern of utilization.

Additionally, we have developed an algorithm that processes flow data associated with this interface and finds the best fitting root cause of the spike/drop. This Kentik Insight brings together SNMP interface metrics with Flow traffic. And our first Insight does two layers of algorithms.
