Name	Description
numOnlineCpus	Number of CPUs that are online.
loadAverage1Min	CPU load average over 1 minute.
loadAverage5Min	CPU load average over 5 minutes.
loadAverage15Min	CPU load average over 15 minutes.
numPhysicalCpus	Shows the number of physical CPUs in the system.
HyperThreadingStatus	Shows if HyperThreading is enabled in the system. If this information cannot be extracted from the system, NA is shown instead.
numCpuCores	Shows the number of cores in the system. If this information cannot be extracted from the system, NA is shown instead.

Name	Description
physicalCPUs	Number of physical CPUs being monitored.

Table Legend

Name	Description
CPU	The name of the CPU. Sequentially numbered entries (0,1,2,…) represent the logical CPUs, while the entries labelled as cpu_0, cpu_1,…) represent the physical CPUs as a whole.
%processorTime	This is the percentage of time the CPU spends executing a thread that is not idle.
%UserTime	This is the percentage of time that the CPU spends on executing user processes.
%privilegedTime	This is the percentage of time the CPU spends on execution of Microsoft Windows kernel commands.
interrupts/Sec	This is the average rate, in incidents per second, at which the CPU received and serviced hardware interrupts.
%DPCTime	This is the percentage of elapsed time that the CPU spent in deferred procedure calls (DPCs).
%interruptTime	This is the percentage of time spent by the CPU on interrupts and DPCs.
DPCsQueued/sec	The number of Deferred Procedure Call (DPC) requests being queued per second.
DPCRate	The number of Deferred Procedure Call (DPC) requests that have been added to the processor's DPC queue since the last clock tick.

A drill down view obtained by right mouse clicking on the view and selecting the appropriate menu option.

temperature

This section contains configuration related to temperature settings in the CPU plug-in.

For Solaris, this Temperature feature only works for Hardware/OS that follows the following diagnostic format:

System Temperatures (Celsius):

Device	Temperature	Status
CPU1	65	OK
CPU2	77	OK
DBP0	29	OK

This means that if the said Hardware/OS does not report the temperature statistics, or does not follow the format as shown above, then the CPU plugin will not display the temperature as well.

temperature > show

For Solaris hosts, set to true to enable monitoring of CPU temperatures.

Mandatory: No

temperature > command

Used to override the full path to the prtdiag command.

solaris

This section contains configuration related to Solaris settings in the CPU plug-in.

solaris > showPhysicalSummaryRows

For Solaris hosts only. The physical summary row is used to show a summary of multi-core CPUs and can be one of the following values:

• detect - Detects whether summary rows are required
• always - Always shows summary rows
• never - Never show summary rows

Mandatory: No
