Kernel Service Call Intensity

The Kernel Service Call Intensity graph displays the number of Kernel Service Calls over time. This view allows you to find hot spots—areas where many kernel service calls made. The individual kernel services are color coded using a separate color scale, shown in the right-side legend. You can toggle the visibility of kernel services in this view by clicking on the labels in the legend.

NOTE: Some of the view modes use a stacked display, while others contain lines that are not stacked but are overlaid one atop another.
