Subject: CPU (etc.) graphs with more detail
Posted: 02 February 2014 at 9:01am
now at CPU etc. graphs you see a Red and a Green bar that shows total CPU use and the app that was using the most percentage of it if I understand correctly
it would be nice to have a mode where the now green bar (the total CPU) is split up in parts, where more processes would be shown if they take up significant parts with an option under what percentage the rest of the processes would be accumulated in a single part of the bar (e.g. a 10% or more).
the tooltips for each part of the vertical bar would show the respective process name and percentage (of CPU or other utilization) and the part that shows the rest could show say the 5 highest entries for that part and ... at the end of the tooltip to signify there are more processes that make up that last part
I'd put the biggest part at the bottom and the "rest" part at the top I think (not sure if the Standard is the reverse order, have to check some forex etc. apps out there that do such kind of dataviz)
also as I suggested at recent post on this thread, clicking one of those graph parts should select the respective process in the process list
the hardest part of this is that each process should be preassigned a color automatically so that you can look back in time at the history graph more easily and see what process takes up significant area on the graph
