Device - Performance: CPU Utilization

This device performance report displays CPU utilization percentages collected during the selected time period from the device displayed at the top of the report. You can configure the data collection for this device through Device Properties - Performance Monitors > Configure CPU Utilization.

Report Body

Below the date/time picker is a graph showing the CPU utilization for the selected time period. Each point on the graph corresponds with an entry in the graph data table below.

Split Second Graph - Real-Time CPU Utilization

Under the main report graph is a Split Second Graph that displays real-time utilization data for the CPU.

Note: Split Second Graphs are not available in WhatsUp Gold Standard Edition.

Note: When viewing information for devices running Microsoft Windows, information gathered via WMI is displayed in real time. Information gathered by SNMP, however, may reflect a delay of one minute or more. This delay is caused by a limitation in how often Microsoft Windows updates SNMP values.

Below the Split Second Graph, the report displays the average CPU utilization percentages collected during the time period:

Note: Values displayed in the graph are the average values for the selected time period. Values displayed in the summary are the minimum, maximum, and average values for the selected time period. If raw polling data has been averaged into hourly or daily summarized data, the values for min and average, or maximum and average can be different. In some cases, they may be very different if there was a period of time when polled values were much higher or lower than normal.

You can verify your report rollup settings on the WhatsUp Gold console via Program Options > Report Data.

Note: If you are viewing data for all CPUs on a device the summary section displays the lowest of the minimum CPU utilization percentages experienced across all CPUs, and the highest of the maximum CPU utilization percentages experienced across all CPUs. The average CPU utilization percentage is calculated across all sample data for all CPUs
