Resource Monitor (resmon) in Windows Server 2008 R2
- by Clever Human
In Windows Server 2008 R2's Resource Monitor, is there a way to set the scale of the various graphs to be constant values instead of variable based on data?
It seems to me that the utility of a graph is to get a quick overview glance at the values those graphs are showing.
So if I look at the CPU graph and the line is up near the top, I can know immediately that something is using all my CPU and go investigate what. I don't really care if the CPU is jumping between .01% and 2%.
Or if the network usage monitor is up near the top, I will know that all my bandwidth is being used up, and go figure out what.
But the way things are now, the graphs are meaningless because the scales constantly shift. If you look at the network usage graph in one second it might have a scale out of 100kbps, and the next second have a scale based on 1mbps!
So... is there a registry key or something that will peg the scale of these graphs to logical maximums?
