Processor Utilization (Foundry 1MinUtil)

System.NetworkManagement.Foundry_1MinUtil.Processor.HighUtilization (UnitMonitor)

Monitors the level of processor utilization on this device

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The monitor indicates the level of processor utilization on this device. This monitor has two possible states:

Configuration

The following options can be configured on this monitor:

Option

Definition

Default

Interval

Amount of time in seconds between checks of the device status

240 seconds

Number of retries

Number of attempts in each monitoring interval before the interval's sample is discarded

3

Number of samples

Number of consecutive samples before the monitor changes state

3

Timeout

Amount of time in milliseconds to wait for a response from the device before the sample times out and a new attempt is made to sample the value

3,500 milliseconds

Threshold

Percentage of the overall capacity of the processor being used

90

Causes

This monitor enters an error state when the processor utilization level on the network device is greater than the configured threshold. The utilization is expressed as a percentage of the overall capacity of the processor. The default is 90%.

Resolutions

Use the Health Explorer to check the details for the state change on the State Change Events tab for the monitor. This data shows the calculated performance counter value that caused the health state change. Consult the device manufacturer's documentation for more information on the problem and troubleshooting procedures.
