Measures reported by EsxCpuTest

This test reports the CPU usage of each of the processors supported by the ESX host.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Usage The percentage of physical CPU used by this processor. Percent A very high value for this measure indicates excessive CPU utilization by the processor. 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.
Max_limited Indicates the percentage of  scheduling limit for this processor over a past minute. Percent  
Cpu_usage Indicates the CPU usage in MHz of this processor Mhz  
cpu_used Indicates the time for which this processor was used. Secs Compare the value of this measure across processors to know which processor was used for the maximum time.
core_util Indicates the CPU utilization of the corresponding core in this processor. Percent A core is utilized if either or both of its logical CPUs are utilized. Compare the value of this measure across processors to know if any processor is over-utilizing its core. This measure is reported only if hyper-threading is enabled.
utilization Indicates the CPU usage of this processor during the last measurement period. Percent utilization and Usage might be different due to power management technologies or hyper-threading.
