h<strong>and</strong> menu brings one to a submenu as shown below:<br />

This submenu allows <strong>for</strong> two choices; running a report to retrieve the Sun Ray Load Profile Report by<br />

“Campus” or retrieving a Sun Ray Load Profile Report <strong>for</strong> all servers “By Hour.”<br />

Both reports display data as of the last ten minutes <strong>and</strong> leave out root-owned processes. The Sun Ray Load<br />

Profile report is primarily concerned with user-level processes <strong>and</strong> assumes that root-owned processes need not<br />

be displayed in this particular report. Other reports <strong>and</strong> the data shown under the Dashboard Tab display all<br />

processes running on the server being monitored.<br />

These two reports are useful <strong>for</strong> determining which processes generate the most load so those processes can be<br />

actively monitored. Generally, on servers where users are running st<strong>and</strong>ard productivity tools, the processes<br />

which will float to the top <strong>and</strong> use the most CPU time are Web Browsers, Office Productivity Suites, Java,<br />

GNOME sessions, Acroread, <strong>and</strong> other tools users use commonly <strong>and</strong> frequently.<br />

The Sun Ray Load Profile Report “By Campus” is shown below <strong>for</strong> a sample “Campus” of hosts actively<br />

monitored by <strong>Project</strong> <strong>Canary</strong> Software is shown on the next page.<br />
