- CPU utilization %. Represents the percentage of processing power
currently in use by the instance.
- Disk read bytes. The amount of data that is being read from the instance's hard disk.
- Disk read operations. The number of read operations that has completed on all ephemeral disks available to the instance.
- Disk write bytes. The amount of data that is being written to the instance's hard disk.
- Disk write operations. The number of write operations that has completed on all ephemeral disks available to the instance.
- Network in. The amount of incoming network traffic to an application on this instance.
- Network out. The amount of outgoing network traffic to an application on this instance.
Each of the graphs default to the average statistic for the best output results.
