## The Monitors Dashboard task 

The Monitors Dashboard task supersedes the System Activity Display (SAD). In the z14 server, the Monitors Dashboard task in the Monitor task group provides a tree-based view of resources. 

Multiple graphical views exist for displaying data, including history charts. The Open Activity task (known as SAD) monitors processor and channel usage. It produces data that includes power monitoring information, power consumption, and the air input temperature for the server. 

An example of the Monitors Dashboard task is shown in Figure 11-23.
