MECM CCMExec CPU Usage Monitor

MECM.ManagementPoint.CCMExecPercentProcessorTime.PerfThreshold.Monitor (UnitMonitor)

This monitor checks for excess CPU Usage by the CCMExec process.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The processor utilization for the SMS Agent Host service on a management point has increased to 95 percent over three hours. This condition will increase unless it is resolved or until the amount of activity on the computer decreases. If this threshold is consistently exceeded, performance may suffer.

Causes

The percent processor time can exceed the threshold because of insufficient processing capacity for the current SMS Agent Host tasks.

Resolutions

To resolve this issue and lower the percentage of processor utilization:
