For example, when defining a realtime report of the top ten processes whose CPU usage ratio is high in PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows), you could use the following conditions to set the display information for a realtime report of Process Detail (PD) records:
Conditions:
-
The values of data displayed in the report are Delta values.
-
The automatic refresh interval of the report display is initially set to 60 seconds and has a minimum of 30 seconds.
-
Display the top ten data using the CPU % (PCT_PROCESSOR_TIME) field as the display criteria.
Set as follows:
Specify when displayed: Select
Indicate delta value: Select
Refresh interval
Do not refresh automatically: Do not select
Initial value: 60
Minimum value: 30
Display by ranking

For example, when defining a historical report that summarizes CPU usages for each minute for the most recent one hour period in PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows), you could use the following conditions to set the display information for a historical report of System Overview (PI) records.
Condition
-
The collection period of performance data is specified when displaying the report.
-
The display interval of the report is set to one hour.
-
Only the data whose User CPU % (PCT_TOTAL_USER_TIME) field indicates the maximum value of the day is displayed.
-
The maximum number of records displayable in the report is set to 1,440.
Set as follows:
Specify when displayed: optional
