The Blue line shows how many iterations the CPU Bound <strong>Canary</strong> was able to run in ten seconds. The Red line<br />
shows CPU load on the server as a whole <strong>and</strong> the Green line shows the one-minute run queue <strong>for</strong> the server as<br />
a whole.<br />
This is useful when attempting to diagnose whether there is a process running on a server that is consuming<br />
more CPU than it should. Where the Blue line dips, the test is unable to get CPU time to run. On an idle<br />
machine, the Blue line should be flat <strong>and</strong> the CPU Bound <strong>Canary</strong> will get as much CPU time as it needs. Dips<br />
in the blue line indicate load spikes on the server. If the server is not per<strong>for</strong>ming as expected, then the times<br />
when the Blue line dips should be investigated by examining the raw data files gathered by <strong>Project</strong> <strong>Canary</strong><br />
software to determine what caused the per<strong>for</strong>mance problem.<br />
The Sun Ray server graph of the CPU Bound <strong>Canary</strong> is shown below:<br />
