- Click an item in the legend to highlight its series (line) in the chart. Click a second time to return the series to its normal appearance.
- Move the mouse pointer over an item in the legend to view the current value for that series within the chart.
| Chart | Description |
|---|---|
| CPU Utilization |
Shows the CPU utilization for all the processors on the system. Each processor is represented by a single line on the chart, and by an item in the legend at the top right of the chart. Note: To view CPU utilization analyzed according to processing mode, see the Processing page in the CPUs drilldown. |
| Server Work Queues | Shows the number of threads (program execution units) that are waiting to run on each processor. A sustained queue length greater than four might indicate processor congestion. |
| Interrupts |
The Interrupts chart shows the number of interrupts per second per CPU on the Windows system. Each CPU is represented by a single graph on the chart, and by an item in the legend at the top right of the chart. The Interrupts chart is designed to show if any CPUs on the system are bearing a disproportionate level of the I/O load. |
| Kilobytes Transferred |
The Kilobytes Transferred chart shows the rate of kilobytes transferred per CPU on the Windows system. Each CPU is represented by a single graph on the chart, and by an item in the legend at the top right of the chart. |
