Control Plane CPU/Memory Graphs
The Control Plane CPU/Memory graphs (Figure 14-3) show the utilization of the ACE CPU. This data
consists of two graphs:
• The Control Plane CPU Usage graph shows the utilization of the ACE CPU as a percentage.
• The Control Plane Memory graph displays the consumed memory on Kbytes. A tooltip is added to
display the Cache Memory, Total Memory, Shared Memory, Buffer Memory, and Free Memory
usage as a percentage.
To toggle the display of the Control Plane CPU/Memory graph in the monitoring window:
• Click View As Chart to display the object data as a graph.
• Click View As Grid to display the object data as a numerical line grid.
Note If you want to save the graph as a JPEG file for archive or other purposes, click the Show As Image
button. When you mouse over the graph, the Image Toolbar appears. From the Image Toolbar, you can
save the graph as a JPEG or send it in an email. You can also print the graph if desired.
If you want to export object data to Microsoft Excel for archive or other purposes, click the Export to
Excel link in the View As Grid object display.
