Last Polled CPU Utilization (Specific CPU)
This home-level dashboard report provides graphical illustration of a device's CPU utilization
at the time of the last poll. Placing this dashboard report in a dashboard will allow you to view
a device's CPU status quickly, even from across the room.
There are five types of graphs to choose from:
Pie. A 3-D pie graph that displays available CPU space in green, and used space in red.
Gauge. A semi-circle graph (much like a car speedometer) with a pointer that
indicates the CPU percentage used.
Horizontal bar. A horizontal bar graph (much like a ruler) with a pointer that
indicates the CPU percentage used.
Vertical bar. A vertical bar graph (much like a thermometer) with a pointer that
indicates the CPU percentage used.
Text. A numerical representation of the CPU percentage used. The percentage is
displayed in colors that coincide with the WhatsUp threshold colors:
Red. Above 90%
Yellow. Between 80% and 90%
Green. 80% or less
Along with the various types of graphs to choose from, you can also pick the display size of
the graph (small, medium, or large).
Under each type of graph, the CPU size is listed in MBs, along with the percentages for used
and free space.
