CPUs / Detail Chart

 

 

 

The CPUs / Detail Chart provides moving graph breakdown of CPU utilization by major category such as disk, communications and user processes.

 

The following are the field meanings:

 

User NSK - Guardian processes at or below priority 199

User OSS - OSS processes at or below priority 199

System NSK - Guardian processes above priority 199

System OSS - OSS processes above priority 199

Disk - Disk processes (physical or virtual)

Tape - Tape process

Comm - Communication processes (i.e. LAN, SWAN)

Int.Hardware - CPU interrupt handler routine

Int. Process - System Interrupt Processes (i.e. processes at priority 255)

Overhead - System time for process start up/shutdown

Everything else - all other processing not within an existing category

 

Placing the mouse over the graph displays a pop-up window on the left showing detail for the area under the mouse.

 

 

 

This chart clears and restarts when a system is selected.
