Insights

The Insights page provides interactive visualizations showing how your data evolves over time across multiple scans.

Available Charts

File Size Trends

Track total storage usage over time:

• See growth or reduction in directory sizes
• Identify storage bloat
• Displayed in both decimal (GB) and binary (GiB) units

File/Folder Count Trends

Monitor the number of items:

• Total files and folders over time
• Detect unexpected additions or deletions
• Separate trend lines for files vs. directories

Change Activity

Visualize filesystem activity:

• Additions, modifications, and deletions per scan
• Identify periods of high change
• Understand modification patterns

Alert Trends

Track integrity issues over time:

• Validation failures
• Suspicious hash changes
• Alert resolution patterns

Features

Root Selection

Select which scan root to analyze from the dropdown. Each root maintains independent trend data.

Date Range Filtering

Customize the time window:

• Last 7 days
• Last 30 days
• Last 90 days
• All time
• Custom range

Baseline Exclusion

Toggle whether to include the initial (baseline) scan in trend calculations. Baseline scans often show large numbers of “additions” which can skew trend visualizations.

Interactive Charts

• Hover for detailed values
• Pan and zoom on time ranges
• Toggle data series on/off

Requirements

Trend analysis requires multiple scans of the same root. After your first scan, you’ll see a message prompting you to run additional scans to generate trend data.

Use Cases

• Capacity Planning: Monitor storage growth rates
• Change Detection: Identify unusual modification patterns
• Validation Monitoring: Track data integrity over time
• Baseline Comparison: See how your filesystem evolves from initial state
