In the following figure, the user has selected the cpu partition from the list in the preceding figure. The graph shows one line for each CPU in the system. In both figures the statistic being shown is the percentage of CPU time used. The preceding graph showed the percentage of CPU time used by the kernel, by users, and by interrupts. The following graph shows the percentage of CPU time used by each CPU.

Viewing a Different Partition of the Data

The visualization also gained a new menu: the Undo History menu . The Undo History menu enables you to undo or save partitioning changes. The number in the Undo History menu title shows how many times you have partitioned this statistic. You can roll back to the previous partitioning, roll back to the original statistic, or roll back to an intermediary series of partitioning.

The Undo History menu contains the following options:

• Undo All. A tree structure of each partitioning is shown so that you can undo all or roll back to anywhere in the series of partitioning.

• Undo the current partitioning. A brief description of the previous partitioning is shown as the menu option so that you know what you are rolling back to. For example, in the previous visualization, you could roll back from reporting utilization per CPU to reporting CPU utilization for user, kernel, and interrupts.
