Utilization (Utilization)
This attribute displays the percentage of CPU utilization. CPU utilization is calculated by adding user time and system time.
High CPU utilization is not necessarily bad. High CPU utilization is good if all your work is being done as expected. Low CPU utilization is normal when the CPU has a light load. This attribute is more useful when looked at in combination with the Load (Load) parameter. A high load average along with low CPU utilization can indicate problems (most likely in the I/O subsystem). However, a low load average with high CPU utilization is common. This simply means that the CPU is being used efficiently. High CPU utilization can also be an indication of excessive paging activity.
Default Action Taken by PATROL
When the value of this parameter reaches the warning or alarm range, PATROL annotates the parameter's value with a report that displays the top 10 highest CPU-using processes. Annotations are denoted by an asterisk (or user-specified symbol) in the graph.
