Workload Analysis
The workload analysis settings enables you to track system resource utilization for components such as processor, memory,
graphics, and hard drive while you run your specific work load.
To generate a workload analysis report:
1. Go to the home screen and click Analytics.
The Analytics section is displayed.
NOTE: You can enable or disable this feature by using the toggle switch.
2. Click Run report and select the report duration to generate the report.
A progress bar displays the status of the report. The task runs until either the report is generated, it is manually stopped, or
when the timeout limit is reached.
3. Click View report to view the generated report.
NOTE: It may take a few minutes to prepare the report after you click the View report option.
The workload analysis report displays the process-specific information using charts. The charts display the top five
processes that use the system resource, to assess the impact of applications. This report also displays a set of check
boxes that allow you to choose the subsystems from which the data is collected. By default, all subsystems are selected.
In the report, the X-axis shows the range of data or specific value that is collected for the given system parameter. The
Y-axis displays the percentage of time, the given range (or specific value) that was found during the report interval. For
example, in the temperature (Location Memory) report, the X-axis shows the range of temperature and the Y-axis shows the
percentage of time the temperature was found to be in the range.
