## System Graphs Overview

The system dashboard includes graphical representations of key resource metrics to help monitor performance and diagnose issues.

Graph Descriptions:

Each graph offers insight into system resource usage and overall health:

- LAN: Displays internal network traffic within the local area network (LAN), including data sent and received between local devices.

- WAN: Shows external network traffic across the wide area network (WAN), capturing data transmitted to and from external networks or the internet.

- Loadavg: Represents the system's load average over time, indicating the number of active processes waiting for CPU resources. This helps assess CPU demand and system responsiveness.

- Memory: Indicates the amount of RAM currently in use versus available memory, aiding in the detection of memory pressure or potential memory leaks.

- Disk: Tracks disk input/output activity, such as read and write operations. Useful for identifying disk performance trends or storage bottlenecks.
  Important: By default, only the hourly graph for each category is displayed. Click on any graph to toggle between additional time spans ranging from hourly to yearly.
