business performance measures in real time.

Figure 32-32 and Figure 32-33 show only processes that did not complete

successfully. That is, we put a filter on the status and selected only running,

terminating, and so forth.

However, it is a good idea to begin by seeing everything. With that in mind,

select all statuses by selecting the values and then adding them to the Filter

expression.
