System Bottleneck View

Function:

• To display the current system bottlenecks.

Description:

• A vertical bar graph showing the major system components and their contribution to the overall system load. It is a magnified view of the load graph in the Overview.

• This view is an ideal starting point when diagnosing system problems and bottlenecks. If a particular subsystem seems to be causing a bottleneck use the views for the subsystem to help you diagnose the problem. For example, if CPU is the bottleneck you can use the System CPU View to see what CPU usage is. You could then use the Process CPU View to see which processes are consuming the resource.

• The presentation of this view can be changed to a time line graph via the Format, Presentation menu option. As a time line, it is easy to visualize the load over time, and determine which component is consistently the weak link in the system performance equation.
