Analyzer cpu-hogs

Name

cpu-hogs - cpu hogs of the system

This analyzer identifies processes consuming the most CPU resources on the system. It monitors CPU usage across all running processes and generates bar charts showing the top CPU consumers. The analyzer helps quickly pinpoint resource-intensive applications and diagnose system-wide performance degradation caused by CPU contention.
