Processor Overview (PI_CPU)

Function

The Processor Overview (PI_CPU) record stores performance data, taken at a specific interval, about the processors on the monitored host. This is a multi-instance record.

Notes

• If the connection to the monitored host fails, the information cannot be collected.
• If this record is collected in a Windows environment, 100 is set as the maximum value of the following fields whose ID (ID) field is _Total:
  
  • CPU % (CPU_PERCENT)
  • System % (SYSTEM_PERCENT)
  • User % (USER_PERCENT)
• If the OS of the monitored host is AIX, only the following users can collect this record information:
  
  • root user
  • User who belongs to both adm and system groups

Default and changeable values

Item	Default value	Changeable
Collection Interval	300	Y
Collection Offset	0	Y
Log	No	Y
LOGIF	(Blank)	Y

Fields

PFM - View name (PFM - Manager name)	Description	Summary rule	Grouping rule	Format	Delta	Unsupported
Record Type (INPUT_RECORD_TYPE)	The record name. This is always CPU.	COPY	COPY	char (8)	No	--
Record Time (RECORD_TIME)	Time when the record was created.	COPY	COPY	time_t	No	--
Interval (INTERVAL)	Interval during which the information is collected. [Units: seconds] If the data is summarized in historical reports, the last value stored is displayed.	COPY	FIXED	ulong	No	--
VA DeviceID (VADEVICEID)	Device ID of the monitored host.	COPY	COPY	string (256)	No	--
Target Host (TARGET_HOST)	Name of the monitored host.	COPY	FIXED	string (33)	No	--
Polling Time (POLLING_TIME)	Time when performance data was collected on the PFM - RM host.	COPY	FIXED	string (32)	No	--
Target Host Time (TARGET_HOST_TIME)	Time when performance data was collected on the monitored host.	COPY	FIXED	string (32)	No	--
ID (ID)	Processor ID.	COPY	COPY	string (256)	No	--
CPU % (CPU_PERCENT)	Processor CPU usage. [Units: %]	HILO	AVG	double	No	--
Idle % (IDLE_PERCENT)	Percentage of time the processor was idle. [Units: %]	HILO	AVG	double	No	--
Interrupt Counts/sec (INTERRUPT_COUNTS_PER_SEC)	Windows: Rate at which the processor processed interrupt requests generated by hardware devices (for example, the system clock, mouse, disk drivers, data communication line, and NIC). DPC (delay procedure call) interrupts are not included. If this field increases greatly when there is no system activity, a hardware problem (e.g., a low-speed device) probably exists. [Units: times/second] Unix: Rate at which interrupts are generated. [Units: times/second]	HILO	AVG	double	No	HP-UX
System % (SYSTEM_PERCENT)	Percentage of processor usage in kernel mode. [Units: %]	HILO	AVG	double	No	--
User % (USER_PERCENT)	Percentage of processor usage in user mode. [Units: %]	HILO	AVG	double	No	--
Wait % (WAIT_PERCENT)	Percentage of time waiting for I/O. [Units: %]	HILO	AVG	double	No	Windows
Ext1 (EXT1)#	Extension field 1.	HILO	AVG	double	No	Windows, HP-UX, Solaris
Ext2 (EXT2)#	Extension field 2.	HILO	AVG	double	No	Windows, HP-UX, Solaris

Legend:

--: All OSs of PFM - RM for Platform are supported.
