Cause

  1. Forecast Coefficients calculation requires at least two days' history data
    Forecast Coefficients calculation uses the linear regression. Since we treat each day as one data point, at least two days' history data are required to compute Forecast Coefficients. For Interface Forecast Coefficients, three day's history data might be needed due to the incremental calculation (see the limitation below)
     
  2. Interface history data for the current day might not be used in Forecast Coefficient calculation
    Due to performance concern, we run incremental calculation for Interface Forecast Coefficients. Some intermediate daily results are calculated/stored in a separate DB table (e.g. InterfaceTrafficUtil_Daily). So any history data from the incomplete day (i.e. the current day) will not be used in current Forecast Coefficients calculation. But those skipped history data will be used in the following day's calculation.
     
  3. Interface Utilization Capacity Forecasting might not be available if InBandwidth or OutBandwidth is 0
    We calculate Interface Utilization using In/Out_bps ÷ In/OutBandwidth. If In/OutBandwidth = 0, we set Interface Utilization and Capacity Coefficients to NULL. There might be some cases, In/OutBandwidth become available through polling or set by the user manually. Due to incremental calculation, the calculated daily utilization (InterfaceTrafficUtil_Daily) could still be null. One workaround would be truncating InterfaceTrafficUtil_Daily table, let DBM recompute all daily utilization. 

Resolution

Note: In SolarWinds Platform 2022.3 and newer, some settings have moved from the config file to Centralized Settings in the web console at https://<ServerAddress>/Orion/admin/advancedconfiguration/global.aspx.

Ensure that you meet the following requirements above. 
Disable and Enable forecasting:
 
1. Launch Orion Service Manager
2. Shutdown SolarWinds Information Service V3
3. Open SolarWinds.InformationService.Service.exe.config
For Orion 2020.2.6 and below
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\Information Service\3.0\SolarWinds.InformationService.Service.exe.config"
For Orion 2022 and up
"C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Orion\SolarWinds.InformationService.Service.exe.config
 
4. Add the entry below in the "<AppSettings>"
  
"<add key="OptimizeDateTimeConversionEnabled" value="true"/>"


Sample:

 
5. Save and close
6. Start SolarWinds Information Service V3
