Pie Chart Presentation of CPU Utilization

Pie charts that reflect metrics measured in terms of CPU percentages now have two possible presentations. If you specify /PERCENTAGE=MAXIMUM, the pie is drawn in terms of 100 percent, with an IDLE section appearing. If you specify /PERCENTAGE=TOTAL the pie is drawn to represent the total of the metrics presented.

For example, if you are producing a pie chart of CPU utilization and the parts of the pie chart have the following values:

If you specify /PERCENTAGE=MAXIMUM, the pie chart contains an idle slice representing 49 percent of the total pie with the remaining 51 percent representing their respective slices.

If you specify /PERCENTAGE=TOTAL, the pie chart represents the sum of these parts, a total of 51 percent utilization, with the largest slice of the pie (approximately 3/5) being represented by Interactive.

If you do not specify /PERCENTAGE on the PIE command line, then /PERCENTAGE=MAXIMUM is assumed. This qualifier has no effect on graphs, custom pie charts, or pie charts of metrics other than CPU Utilization.
