## 7.7.2 Instance level data 

The first tiles on the dashboard shown in Figure 7-16 on page 180 show information on the zCX instance level as seen from within the zCX. 

## Appliance Uptime 

The uptime tile just tells since how long the zCX instance is up and running. 

## Containers 

The containers tile shows how many containers are currently running within this zCX instance. 

## Appliance CPU Utilization gauge 

This tile tells the CPU percent utilized for available CPU’s, from the Li nux perspective. To interpret this value, keep in mind that you have configured a number of virtual processors to the zCX instance. This does not mean that your zCX instance has exclusive access to these processors. It gets only a share of the processors that are available to z/OS, based on the decisions of the z/OS Workload Manager. 

The share that z/OS gives to zCX is seen by zCX as 100% CPU and the percentage shown in the tile is relative to this share. 

## Appliance Used Memory gauge 

This tile shows the amount of memory within the zCX instance that is currently in use for processes, as a percentage of all memory available to the zCX instance. 

## Appliance Used Swap Space gauge 

This tile shows the percentage of swap memory that is in use. 

## Appliance Used Swap Space 

This tile shows the absolute value for the swap space that is in use. 

## Appliance CPU Utilization over time
