To ensure we don't miss CPU spikes, we want to be able to set the graph interval to a finer resolution.

Please allow us to specify the graph interval time for Navigator for i's performance display in greater detail.

Current Situation:
When displaying data for multiple days (four days or more) in the “Performance” section of Navigator for i, the minimum graph interval that can be selected is one hour.

This configuration misses the timing when CPU usage increases.

As a workaround, you can set the graph interval to 15 minutes if you review the data within 1 to 4 days.

When measuring performance over 20 days or more and displaying all days, even if there are periods where CPU usage spikes momentarily, the graph averages out, making it impossible to discern that CPU usage increased.

 

Request:
Even when specifying a one-month data range for the graph interval, please allow users to set shorter intervals.

 

Best regards,
