CPU Utilization

CPU Utilization reports present each processor load and idle time for one or more host devices. These reports help you to visualize the demand for processing resources, identify peak periods, and help troubleshoot and denote 'root cause' for incidents involving CPU exhaustion.

(Report Options). Jump to a detailed dashboard or control panel for:
- Device Status.
Device/CPU. Device name/CPU type (CPU index in parenthesis).
Avg. Load %. Average CPU load percentage for the selected period.

Note: This report returns CPU Utilization metrics for devices that already have the appropriate performance monitoring enabled. To enable these polled measurements, see CPU Utilization Monitor.

Generate a report

Choose WhatsUp Gold Environment. Choose the remote WhatsUp Gold environment monitoring CPU usage.

Choose Device. Choose one or more host devices you want CPU Utilization measurements for.

Sort and pick columns. Sort and pick columns.

Chart, adjust output, and visualize. Fine tune report presentation and range of values displayed using the Report Setting dialog (optional).

Share, export, and save as PDF

Most generated CPU Utilization report data can be printed, shared, and exported when selecting Expand () from the Dashboard Options () menu. After the report has been expanded, select export () to access the following options:

Export to PDF. Generate a PDF file of the report with user-defined page size and orientation.
Export Data. Export CPU Utilization data and leverage outside of WhatsUp Gold.
Schedule Export. Set a recurring date and time, format, and email destination for report data export.

Single Interface	Choose an interface on a device.
Device Group	Choose an existing group of one or more devices. You can also create custom or dynamic groups.

Control	Purpose
Sort.	Sort column in ascending or descending order.
Columns.	Pick the columns you want to view. Click a check box to display the column. Clear the check box to hide it.

Control	Purpose
Show Top n Items	Limit items to the samples with the highest (or lowest) latency.
Threshold Type	Switch between minimum or maximum mode for cutoff values for the ranked list. At or Over. Show peak usage period. (Latency percentage equal to or greater than Threshold.) At or Under. Show usage periods where resources are unused or possibly down. (Latency percentage equal to or less than Threshold.)
Threshold (percent)	Baseline value used to trim ranked device list based on peak or subpeak capacity when returning the Top n.

Control	Purpose
Display Options	Present data as a chart, a table grid, or both.
Chart Type	Gauge charts . Available when you select a Date Range of Last Polled . Time series . Available when you select a Date Range interval (Today , for example). Line/Area. Scatter graph that connects adjacent measurements with straight lines. Spline/Area Spline. Choose a graph with a smoothed appearance where adjacent samples exhibit a gradual slope.
Chart Options	Legend, Grid Lines, Range Selector. Include legend, grid lines, and range selector for readability. Trend Lines. Present data with a smoothed average to show trend.
