Hyper-V MPE 2012 R2 \% Guest Run Time

HyperVMPE2012R2.VirtualProcessor.GuestRunTime.Rule (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor checks the processor utilization of guest, virtual computer processors. The "\Hyper-V Hypervisor Virtual Processor(*)\% Guest Run Time" performance counter is more accurate than using the "% Processor Time" counter within the virtual computer due to clock calculation drift.
