 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.

-When the source file isn't tailored for the monitor, superfluous text will be present, so you'll need to use a regex to extract the number with a capture group ([[http://www.regular-expressions.info/|tutorial site]]) - the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions engine is used, for detailed information [[https://developer.gnome.org/glibmm/2.48/classGlib_1_1Regex.html|see 'Detailed Description' in the glibmm documentation]] (which is at version 2.48.1 at the time of writing, you may need to edit the URL for later versions).+When the source file isn't tailored for the monitor, superfluous text will be present, so you'll need to use a regex to extract the number with a capture group ([[https://www.regular-expressions.info/|tutorial site]]) - the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions engine is used, for detailed information [[https://developer.gnome.org/glibmm/2.48/classGlib_1_1Regex.html|see 'Detailed Description' in the glibmm documentation]] (which is at version 2.48.1 at the time of writing, you may need to edit the URL for later versions).
