The Processes & Users bar chart (**ANALYZE > Graphs > Combined Bar Charts > Processes & Users**) gives an overview of which processes and users consume the most resources in terms of CPU, memory, etc.

:::tip
**This bar chart is useful because ...** you can quickly find out who uses the most CPU power, RAM, etc.

When you specify parameters for the chart, you can select between several types of data:

- **Total Consumed CPU Time by Process**: CPU usage in minutes for worst processes.
- **Average Memory by Process**: The amount of memory consumed by different processes.
- **Most Active Processes by Instances**: The number of times that a process has been started.
- **Total Consumed CPU Time by User**: CPU usage in minutes for the most active users.
- **Average Consumed Memory by User**: The average amount of memory consumed by processes per user.

The values are calculated from the worst reported processes only, and don't include low-consuming instances of these processes.

In order to monitor additional processes, select **ADMINISTRATION > Agent Configuration > Configurations**, select the agent configuration group that you wish to change and modify the parameters in the **Process Report** section. For example, setting **Report % CPU usage higher than** and **CPU usage top ? list** to 0 (zero) will make the agent collect information about all processes.
