Resource Contention (ResourceContention)
Monitors the server for resource contention and enters an alarm state when it detects that multiple threads are contending for a shared resource and the resource cannot respond adequately.
This parameter enters into an alarm state under the following conditions:
- The NT_CPU_Total\CPUprcrPrivTimePercent parameter is greater than or equal to the NT_CPU_Total\CPUprcrUserTimePercent parameter.
- The NT_CPU_Total\CPUprcrProcessorTimePercent parameter is greater than the value set at the /PSX_P4WinSrvs/PWK_PKMforMSWinOS_config/HealthMonitoring/ProcessorContentionThreshold pconfig variable.
If this pconfig variable is not present, then the default value is assumed as 30.
This parameter is not active if the _TOTAL instance of the NT_CPU application is excluded from monitoring.
