You can change this by hitting “Configuration” and then “Change Interval” You can also load Batch Output, this might come in handy when you are a consultant for instance and a customers sends you captured data, you can do this under: File -> Load Batch Output You can filter output, very useful if you are looking for info on a specific virtual machine / world!

Just unfold the ones you need and double click them to add them to the right pane There are a bunch of other cool features in their like color-coding of important metrics for instance. Also the fact that you can show multiple windows at the same time is useful if you ask me and of course the tooltips that provide a description of the counter!
