Display Persistent LRU Space Metrics see the following section.

Display Persistent LRU Space Metrics

When working with persistent spaces in LRU mode, this option turns on the instance count (a list or total of instances) in the relevant Spaces Network view row; and in the Classes view and Cluster view under the relevant space/cluster node.

Note

This option is turned off by default, since displaying the instance count for such spaces might result in very high CPU usage.

Clicking Space > Display Persistent LRU Space Metrics turns on the instance count for all persistent LRU-mode spaces you are using. Clicking this option again turns off the instance count for these spaces.

View Menu

The View menu provides the following options:
