Fields
|
Field name |
Explanation |
|---|---|
|
15-Minute Run Queue Avg |
The 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. |
|
CPU % |
CPU usage (%). This is also the average value of the percentage for each processor (for AIX, it includes processors after logical partitioning by the Micro-Partitioning function). |
|
Context Switches |
Number of times the context switch was executed. |
|
Idle % |
Percentage of time that the CPU is in idle status (%). This is also the average value of the percentage for each processor (for AIX, it includes processors after logical partitioning by the Micro-Partitioning function). |
|
Interrupts |
Number of times interrupt occurred. |
|
Kernel CPU % |
Percentage of time that the CPU is operating in kernel mode (%). This is also the average value of the percentage for each processor (for AIX, it includes processors after logical partitioning by the Micro-Partitioning function). |
|
Run Queue |
The number of processes, including processes waiting in the queue for the kernel. |
|
System Calls |
Number of times a system call was issued. |
|
User CPU % |
Percentage of time that the CPU is operating in user mode (%). This is also the average value of the percentage for each processor (for AIX, it includes processors after logical partitioning by the Micro-Partitioning function). |
|
Wait % |
Percentage of time that the CPU is in I/O waiting status (%). This is also the average value of the percentage for each processor (for AIX, it includes processors after logical partitioning by the Micro-Partitioning function). |
