Metrics
Performance Manager can gather data on several hundred metrics. For a
description of a particular metric, use context-sensitive help.
Note: Context-sensitive help for metrics is only available
in the work area, not the session window or displays.
From the main window's Help menu, choose On Item, then click on a metric. A
Help box will appear.
