CPU Per Processor(K)

Overview

The CPU Per Processor(K) alarm monitors the CPU usage (%) for a processor executed in kernel mode. If the CPU usage continues to be at or above the threshold, there might be a problem with the OS or operation method.

Reference note
To monitor a specific processor, copy this alarm and create an alarm by changing the condition expression in the Processor ID field to Processor ID = identifier-of-monitored-processor.
