XCPU
Plex overhead is included in total CPU utilization.
Syntax
The parameters are defined as follows:
Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
int | is the length of the sample period in intervals; the default is 30 seconds (one interval) |
lowpct | is the low threshold percent A value of 0 (zero) indicates no low threshold checking will be performed A warning message is issued if the total Plex CPU utilization during the period is less than the specified percentage. Plex dispatch overhead is included in CPU utilization. |
highpct | is the high threshold percent A value of 0 (zero) indicates no high threshold checking will be performed A warning message is issued if the total Plex CPU utilization during the period equals or exceeds the specified percentage. Plex dispatch overhead is included in CPU utilization. |
Example 1
XCPU,2,40
The reporting period is two intervals (one minute if the default interval is used). A warning message will be issued if the Plex is less than 40% utilized during the period. No high threshold checking will be performed.
Example 2
XCPU,10,0,90
The reporting period is 10 intervals (five minutes if the default interval is used). A warning message will be issued if the Plex equals or exceeds than 90% utilized during the period. No low threshold checking is to be performed.
Example 3
XCPU,10,40,90
The reporting period is 10 intervals (five minutes if the default interval is used). A warning message will be issued if the Plex is less than 40% or more than 90% utilized during the period.
Warning messages
The following warning messages are issued by the XCPU sampler:
PWSXCPU1 *WARNING* Total PLEX Utilization is nn.nn%
Message PWSXCPU1 is issued when the total Plex utilization is less than the lowpct value during the period.
PWSXCPU2 *WARNING* Total PLEX Utilization is nn.nn%
Message PWSXCPU2 is issued when the total Plex utilization is more than the highpct value during the period.
