- Average CPU activity and per-core history graphs
- Memory usage, compressed memory, and swap usage
- Disk throughput, paging activity, and network throughput
- macOS thermal pressure state
Before you write in
- Include the macOS version you are using.
- Include the Pulse version and build number if possible.
- Describe which card, meter, or graph looks wrong.
- Attach a screenshot if the issue is visual.
Troubleshooting
- If the dashboard looks stale, close and reopen Pulse.
- If a graph appears empty immediately after launch, wait for the first few live samples.
- Thermal is a system pressure state, not a per-core temperature reading.
- Some rates may sit near zero when the Mac is idle. That is normal.
