Veeam Hyper-V: Host CPU Usage Analysis

Veeam.Virt.Extensions.HyperV.Host.Monitor.TotalRunTime (UnitMonitor)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor tracks threshold breaches for the following metric:

Causes

High CPU usage for the virtual machines combined with host partition usage forced host CPU usage to exceed the threshold.

Review the alert description for specific guidance relevant to this alert. The description contains details on the metric above.

Resolutions

Review the CPU demands of VM workloads on this host. Veeam Hyper-V Task Manager can be used to detect the current CPU usage for all VMs and host partition on the affected host.

If VM workload CPU demands are all within the expected range, you may wish to migrate VMs to another host to balance the CPU demand.
