You can also pick an individual CPU here, then add more and more 'devices' to track other CPUs if desired. Here you see the System tab, showing the default 'All CPUs' CPU usage monitor to add.

 'Tags' are short descriptive words intended to be displayed along with the relevant device data in the optional text overlay for all visualisations bar the Text visualisation (this allows you to quickly identify individual monitor values amongst a string of potentially many numbers).

 For a general discussion of the Advanced section, please see the CPU Usage monitor above. For this monitor, without a fixed max, in time-based visualisations (Curves, Columns etc) the displayed data max is used as the max, in other visualisations (e.g. Bars) the max value the monitor has observed since it has started is stored and slowly decays over time (10% reduction over 105 measurements according to an old comment).  For a general discussion of the Advanced section, please see the CPU Usage monitor above.
