Measures reported by IfxWorkloadTest
This test measures the CPU utilization of the JVM. If the JVM experiences abnormal CPU usage levels, you can use this test to instantly drill down to the threads that are contributing to the CPU spike. Detailed stack trace information provides insights to code level information that can highlight problems with the design of the Java application.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Java application being monitored.
The measures made by this test are as follows:

Interpretation |
| Jvm_cpu_utilization |
Indicates the percentage of total available CPU time taken up by the JVM. |
Percent |
If a system has multiple processors, this value is the total CPU time used by the JVM divided by the number of processors on the system.
Ideally, this value should be low. An unusually high value or a consistent increase in this value is indicative of abnormal CPU usage, and could warrant further investigation.
In such a situation, you can use the detailed diagnosis of this measure, if enabled, to determine which runnable threads are currently utilizing excessive CPU. |
