CPU Usage

Overview

The CPU Usage alarm monitors the processor usage (%). The value to be monitored is the percentage of the time the processor spent executing non-idle threads. The maximum value is 100%, even in a multi-processor environment. If the CPU usage continues to exceed the threshold, the processor might be a system bottleneck.
