Utilization History

Information about the resource utilization is available in the Resource Monitor tab. The resource utilization is displayed in two graphs, the Utilization History and the Real-Time View. The graphs are updated according to a sampling rate. The sampling rate is set in the application preferences.

The Utilization History graph plots the utilization for the following resources against time:

CPU
memory
network input/output (I/O)

The CPU and memory utilization are plotted as a percentage of 100% capacity, though the graph scales automatically. Under periods of high demand, the upper bound can reach 100%. Under periods of low demand, the upper bound can drop below 10%.

The network I/O utilization is shown as one line plot for input and one line plot for output. The plot shows the transfer rate in units of megabytes per second.

To view the resource utilization for one sampling period, place your pointer over a line. You can also click on a line to select the same sampling period for all the resource line plots that are shown. This way, you can place your pointer over each of the selected sampling periods to view the utilization for each resource in the same sampling period.

Resource Monitor

Note: If the Resource monitor does not display the line plot or the Real-Time View, 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.
