Reading the Graph

The following table describes the statistics shown for both the graph and CSV file:

Graph value CSV column Description

In the CSV file, the records are sorted from oldest to newest.
CPU CPU Usage % CPU usage refers to your computer’s processor and how much work it's doing.
A high reading means your computer is running at the maximum level or above normal level for the number of applications running.
Memory Memory Usage % Percentage of memory used by all running processes on the Master Server host machine.
Disk Disk Usage % Percentage of disk space that is currently in use on the Master Server.
I/O Disk I/O % Any operation, program, or device that transfers data to or from a computer.
Typical I/O devices are printers, harddisks, keyboards and mouses.
