+
+All stats are summed over all available clusters.

+Task rate is calculated over the last 24 hours and will show the number of tasks per second, minute, hour or day depending on the amount.
+Average execution time (`Avg time`) is calculated in seconds over the last 24 hours.

+Since some of these numbers are based on what is available in your tasks database, limiting or disabling the result backend will skew them.
