Monitor Control Nodes Summary

Select Monitor > Infrastructure > Control Nodes to see a graphical chart of average memory usage versus average CPU percentage usage for all control nodes in the system. Also on this screen is a list of all control nodes in the system. See Figure 1. See Table 1 for descriptions of the fields on this screen.
