Processor \% Time (Solaris 11)

Microsoft.Solaris.11.Processor.PercentProcessorTime.Collection (Rule)

Collects the performance counter Processor\\% Processor Time

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule collects performance data for the Processor\% Processor Time performance counter. The collected values are accessible in performance views and reports.

This metric exposes the percentage of elapsed time that a single processor spent running a non-idle thread. Each processor has an idle thread that consumes cycles when no other threads are ready to run. This metric is the primary indicator of processor activity, and displays the average percentage of busy time observed.

The value returned by the agent is the rolling average of the 5 most recent values queried at 1 minute intervals.

Monitoring of individual processors is disabled by default. Enable monitoring by enabling the object discovery named 'Discover Solaris 11 Processor.'
