Fields

Field nameExplanation
1-Minute Run Queue AvgThe average number of threads over the last one minute, other than threads waiting in the execution queue for the kernel.
On HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX, this value does not include the number of threads waiting for I/O. On Linux, this value includes the number of threads waiting for I/O.
15-Minute Run Queue AvgThe average number of threads over the last 15 minutes, other than threads waiting in the execution queue for the kernel.
On HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX, this value does not include the number of threads waiting for I/O. On Linux, this value includes the number of threads waiting for I/O.
5-Minute Run Queue AvgThe average number of threads over the last 5 minutes, other than threads waiting in the execution queue for the kernel.
On HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX, this value does not include the number of threads waiting for I/O. On Linux, this value includes the number of threads waiting for I/O.
CPU %CPU usage (%).
This is also the average value of the percentage for each processor (for AIX V6.1 or later, it includes processors after logical partitioning by the Micro-Partitioning function).

Context SwitchesNumber of times the context switch is executed.
Idle %Percentage of time in idle status (%).
This is also the average value of the percentage for each processor (for AIX V6.1 or later, it includes processors after logical partitioning by the Micro-Partitioning function).
Kernel CPU %Percentage of operation time in kernel mode (%).
This is also the average value of the percentage for each processor (for AIX V6.1 or later, it includes processors after logical partitioning by the Micro-Partitioning function).
Record TimeTime when the record was created (Greenwich Mean Time).
System CallsNumber of times a system call was issued.
User CPU %Percentage of operation time in user mode (%).
This is also the average value of the percentage for each processor (for AIX V6.1 or later, it includes processors after logical partitioning by the Micro-Partitioning function).
Wait %Percentage of time in I/O waiting status (%).
This is also the average value of the percentage for each processor (for AIX V6.1 or later, it includes processors after logical partitioning by the Micro-Partitioning function).
