The heat map provides a calendar view showing periods of heaviest and lightest resource consumption. You can view data based on memory consumption or on CPU usage. The heat map displays CPU usage data by default.

Each tile in the calendar represents a four-hour time period. The darkest colored tiles represent periods of 71% or higher consumption; the lighter colors represent periods with lower consumption. Click a tile to load details for the jobs that ran within the time period.

You can download the table containing the data for a selected tile to a comma-separated value (.CSV) file. If you note that consumption is high for a time period on one day, but lighter for the same time period on a different day, you might want to download the tables for both tiles and compare the data in each to identify possible causes.

Before you enable the resource utilization heat map for a PowerCenter domain, you need to either apply the applicable EBFs or set the custom properties. For more information, see the following Knowledge Base article: 563791
