Fortinet Exam NSE7_ADA-6.3 Topic 1 Question 10 Discussion

The profile database contains CPU utilization values from day one. At midnight on the second day, the CPU utilization values from the daily database will be merged with the profile database using a weighted average formula:

New value = (Old value x Old weight) + (New value x New weight) / (Old weight + New weight)

The weight is determined by the number of days in each database. In this case, the profile database has one day of data and the daily database has one day of data, so the weight is equal for both databases. Therefore, the formula simplifies to:

New value = (Old value + New value) / 2

In the profile database, in the Hour of Day column where 9 is the value, the updated minimum, maximum, and average CPU utilization values are:

Min CPU Util = (32.31 + 32.31) / 2 = 32.31 Max CPU Util = (33.50 + 33.50) / 2 = 33.50 AVG CPU Util = (32.67 + 32.67) / 2 = 32.67
