CPU Utilization Graphs - Single node

Can someone explain how to read the CPU Utilization Graph for a single node?

It appears to show a solid red line for average CPU utilization, and I'm guessing the light-red bars are the range of utlization?? Could someone explain those?

And what does the 95th percentile line mean? Does that mean that the CPU stays below that utilization 95% of the time?

Thanks for any help

Yes, you are correct on both assumptions.

The bars represent min/max utilization over the past polls.
For 95th percentile(mostly used by ISP's for billing) just do a Google search;
