Measures reported by VMCpuTest

The VMCpuTest reports the CPU performance statistics pertaining to the VMWare guests running on the VMWare server.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Availability Whether the VMWare guest is available or not Number
 
Cpu_util The percentage of CPU utilized by every processor on the VMWare guest Percent A high value could signify a CPU bottleneck. The CPU utilization may be high because a few processes are consuming a lot of CPU, or because there are too many processes contending for a limited resource.
System_cpu_util The percentage of CPU spent on system-level processing by every processor Percent An unusually high value indicates a problem and may be due to too many system-level tasks executing simultaneously.  
Wait_time_util The percentage of CPU wait time spent by every processor Percent
