The heatmap view displays a heatmap of variations and trends in system resource usage. The heatmap plots days on the horizontal axis and hours along the vertical axis. Customize the view using the menus, toolbar, and date-range slider to select metrics and date ranges.
The following list describes the features in this view:
- Selection Menus

- Toolbar
- Contains the time frame list. Select a time frame from the list to change the graph. The time frame start and end dates are displayed on the toolbar next to the time frame buttons. You can use the Display and threshold buttons to define how the cells are shaded. Export creates a .csv file containing selected data.
- Date-Range Slider

Dates outside the date-range slider timeline are shaded lighter. The darker-shaded area between the slider handles represents the current date range being displayed.
