Defaults to Auto. Click on the setting to switch between Auto & Manual Refresh.
When Auto refresh is selected, you can Stop & Start the dashboard from gathering and reporting new data.
When Manual refresh is selected, you can select the Refresh button to gather and report new data.
Interval and Duration
There are two configurable settings for the timing on gathering and reporting of data.
- Interval is the Sample Interval : The frequency at which a snapshot of system activity is reported.
- Duration is the Sample Length : The length of time data is collected during the interval.
You can obtain periodic snapshots by making the Duration smaller than the Interval.
You can obtain behavior similar to WRKSYSSTS by making Duration and Interval the same.
