metric value types for CPU > %Busy

[Kenny_Yu]

When creating a bashboard graph, under properties for Hardware Resources > CPU > %Busy, I have a drop-down list for values that has [maximum, minimum, value, current]. 

What is the difference between 'value' and 'current' when they are plotted over a range of time?

The data has a resolution of one minute. Is the value averaged over the one minute? I notice that 'current' results in spiky data away from the average, like something between average and max.

Thanks

Here is the description for those fields:

Minimum: Minimum value, only available for averaged metrics
Maximum: Maximum value, only available for averaged metrics
Value: Contains the average or the sum across the time range depending on the metric
Sum: Aggregated value of the metric over the time range
Count: Count of the observed values over the time range
Current: Sum of the most recent minute's metric data values across all the included nodes

Yes, it is little bit difficult to understand fully.

For CPU %Busy, I would suggest using 'Value'. Also, compare the Appdynamcis data with actual CPU utilization on the box itself. They should  match closely.
