Documentation

Definition

This field shows the absolute difference in comparison to the previous run.

Use

The fields "Change/day", "Change/week", and "Change/month" show a long term trend, because the overall change is set into relation to a (usually) long time-frame.

In contrast to these, this field can be used to detect short-term trends, which could cause the need for fast reaction (i.e. moving the table into an own table space, increasing secondary quantity of thetablespace, ...).

In combination with the long term trend, you can see, if a table is volatile (short term shows many changes, but long term is quite stable).
