Veeam.Virt.Extensions.VMware.InGuest.cpuUsedPct (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule collects the performance metric Process \ % Processor Time for the VM guest OS.

Metric definition:

Percentage of elapsed time that the processor spends to execute a non-idle thread of guest OS.

Disabling this rule will stop collection of the metric into Ops Mgr and it will not be visible in views and reports. However, any monitor based on the same metric will continue to function.
