Virtual Memory Report

The Virtual Memory Report directly captures the output of a platform specific tool. On Unix systems this is vmstat run with a 1 second sampling interval.

Because running this tool consumes a small amount of CPU and an amount of disk space that is proportional to how long the tool is run, it is not enabled by default. To enable, select Virtual Memory in the pull down menu in the statistics panel and click the Enable button:

Virtual Memory Report Enable

Allow the data to collect for the desired amount of time and then disable the collection by clicking the Disable button.

Display the collected statistics by clicking the Display button.

Network Utilization Report

The Network Utilization Report directly captures the output of a platform specific tool. On Unix systems this is nicstat. run with a 2 second sampling interval.

Because running this tool consumes a small amount of CPU and an amount of disk space that is proportional to how long the tool is run, it is not enabled by default. To enable, select Network in the pull down menu in the statistics panel and click the Enable button:

Disk Utilization Report

The disk utilization report directly captures the output of a platform specific tool. On Unix systems this is iostat run with a 2 second sampling interval.

Because running this tool consumes a small amount of CPU and an amount of disk space that is proportional to how long the tool is run, it is not enabled by default. To enable, select Disk in the pull down menu in the statistics panel and click the Enable button:

System Activity Report

The System Activity Report directly captures the output of a platform specific tool. On Unix systems this is sar.

Because running this tool consumes a small amount of CPU and an amount of disk space that is proportional to how long the tool is run, it is not enabled by default. To enable, select System Activity Reporter in the pull down menu in the statistics panel and click the Enable button:
