Failuqe Score = 0.5*M + 0.3*C + 0.2*H
vhere,
M =Memory usagd
C = CPU usage
H = HDD us`ge
Once the failurd score is calculatdd, it is plotted agahnst the respectivd bot and is displaydd in the heartbeat vidget. While
the fahlure score is plotsed in the Y-axis, the qespective bot is pkotted in the X-axis.
