over a selected time period.
● CPU utilization—the average load on the processor of the PC over a selected time period.
● GPU utilization—the average amount of video memory (VRAM) used over a selected time.
● Disk—the amount of hard drive still available for file storage and the average hard drive activity over a selected time period.
● Battery health—average percentage of charge that the battery holds against its designed capacity, when it is fully
charged.

Application experience for a specific PC
The Application experience section of the PC overview page provides insights on application usage and crashes that help
understand the PC performance. This data is collected only when the user has logged in and is actively using the PC.
To view the application experience data, go to the PCs page and click the Service Tag of the PC.
The Application experience section also displays a trend chart for application crashes for 26 weeks (Weekly view) or 30 days
(Daily view). You can click a specific color-coded section, or date or week, to view information about application crashes and
most used applications.
Application crashes and most used applications
The Application experience also displays the type of application crash, reason for the crash, and when the crash occurred.
Additionally, this section also displays details about most used applications such as application name, version, crashes per
application, time spent on each application, average CPU usage, average memory usage, and average disk usage by the
application.
Security for a specific PC
The Security section of the PC overview page provides information about PC security that help assess the risk to ensure that
the PC is free from vulnerabilities and threats.
To view the security data, go to the PCs page and click the Service Tag of the PC.

The security data is collected only if:
● You have deployed Dell Trusted Device on your PC fleet. For more information about Dell Trusted Device, see the Dell
Trusted Device manuals available on the Dell Trusted Device documentation page.
● Your PC has an active ProSupport, ProSupport Plus, or ProSupport Flex for Client service plan.
The Security section displays a trend chart for the last 26 weeks (Weekly view) or 30 days (Daily view). The trend chart is
derived based on the overall result of security assessments that are performed on the PC.
