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:

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

 

 

 

The chart clears and restarts when a different system is selected.
