Viewing Memory and CPU Utilization

Information about the per-process resource utilization is available in the Process Monitor tab. The resource utilization for memory and CPU are displayed in two graphs, the Memory Utilization versus CPU Utilization and CPU and Memory Utilization by Instance. The graphs are updated according to a sampling rate. The sampling rate is set in the application preferences.

The Selection menu enables you to filter the display of application instances in the graphs for top resources consumers.

Each application instance is represented by a bubble in the bubble plot. The size of the bubble represents the number of processes used for the application instance. If an instance has one process for each machine in the cluster, then that ensures ideal resource utilization and performance.

The location of the bubble indicates the resource utilization for the application instance on the machines in the cluster. Place your pointer over a bubble to view information about the application instance. Select a bubble to view the detailed resource consumption for each machine that is used by the application instance.

Process Monitor

Note: If no application instances appear in the process monitor, then contact your system administrator to make sure that the SAS LASR Analytic Server has been started in the LASR Tables tab and that it is running.
