The Application Sunburst widget is used to identify poor performing applications.

It Shows application activity and performance impact for the selected location in a sunburst.

When you select a location, the widget shows the applications in a sunburst presentation indicating "if" and "how much" an application is affected with different colors. The sunburst provides an intuitive way of determining if only a single application in the location is affected or if all applications are affected.

The sunburst presentation is based on the activity for the selected location. The size of the Applications in each ring is determined by the number of computers accessing the application, known as 'online computers'. The locations are colored based on how many computers experience degraded performance on the application:

• Green: Less than 10% of the online computers are affected
• Yellow: 10-20% of the online computers are affected
• Orange: 20-30% of the online computers are affected
• Red: More than 30% of the online computers are affected
