Process (Sql Server) Processor Time

Microsoft.Office.Sharepoint.Server.2007.Process_Sql_Server_Processor_Time (Rule)

This rule uses the \% Processor Time counter to determine the percentage of elapsed time for all of the process threads used by the processor to execute instructions. An instruction is the basic unit of execution in a computer, a thread is the object that executes instructions, and a process is the object created when a program is run. Code executed to handle some hardware interrupts and trap conditions are included in this count.
