It is suitable for an ad-hoc or permanent advanced performance troubleshooting and profiling. The analysis of historical performance data and the detection of bottlenecks allows the establishment of a baseline of the resource usage, predicts utilization and reduces costs, especially in cloud environment like AWS. The UI has contextual help for every graph, which provides explanations of the parameters and suggests optimizations.
