About the Threshold: CPU Utilization report

This home-level dashboard report displays the top devices based on their current CPU utilization percentage thresholds. Placing this dashboard report in a dashboard allows you to keep tabs on crucial devices and their current CPU load by glancing at the colors associated with each percentage level:

• Red. Above 90%
• Yellow. Between 80% and 90%
• Green. 80% or less

Each entry in the report contains the following information:

• Device. The network device.
• Description. The description of the device.
• CPU Load. The percentage of the CPU currently in use.
