The Inspector List pane stores information on each Inspector. Information includes:

Statistics Graphs pane

Displays charts of SQL performance according to the selected statistic in the drop-down list. Use the 2 sliders to select the SQL with the top resource consumption. The No. of Top Consumption SQL slider selects the number of SQL and the Percentage of Total Consumption slider selects the SQL statements based on the selected percentage of top resource consumption.

Statistics pane

Displays the statistics for each SQL statement retrieved from the chart selections.

The red checkmarks $image\I_RedCheckmark.gif$ in the left column indicate those SQL statements that fall in the criteria of the selected chart. If you selected AND as the mode to join multiple charts, the checkmarks are displayed in every row because every single SQL statement satisfies all the charts. If you selected OR as the mode to join multiple charts, when you click one of the charts, the red checkmarks indicate the SQL statements that correspond to the selection criteria for that chart only.
