Processor Utilization
Processor Utilization is the percentage of time a processor is busy compared to the total time it is available. For example, if the CPU is busy for 45 seconds during a minute, its utilization for this period is 75%.
The Agent checks processor activity every five seconds. If the average utilization for any processor exceeds the threshold during the Agent cycle (5 or 15 minutes), the system generates an alert.
