Time Slicing is a report on recent history that shows top resource usage over a period of time.
For example, you can see the longest-running SQL from 13:00 to 14:00 yesterday. It enables quick, ad-hoc analysis of recent history.
There are two types of Time Slicing reports:
-
By Time Range. Easily investigate resource consumption within a specific time range, i.e. Top SQL between 15:00 and 16:00 yesterday, showing elapsed time, CPU time, and more.
-
Top N Summary. From Top SQL By Hour to Top Processes By Day, a graphical summary view presents the largest resource consumers in a time period.
