Measures reported by MLXCPUStatTest
CPU is core component of any electronic device and for proper functioning of the devide it is important that CP is working optimally, it is not overloaded and processes are getting CPU time when needed. That is the reason it is also one of the most important component in any electonic device to be monitored.
This test monitors the CPU and collect importants statistics like system time, idle time etc. which provide very important insight to administrators about CPU effficiency and they can take corrective actions if CPU is overloaded or malfunctioning.
Outputs of the test: One set of result for each CPU in Mallanox switch.
Descriptor: CPU
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| IdleTime |
Indicates the time in milliseconds that CPU is spending idle. |
Milliseconds |
Ideally CPU should be spending most of the time in user tasks, while some being spent on system and little being idle. In case the time for system tasks is too much and there is no idle time, it would be a cause of concern.
|
| SysTime |
Indicates the time in milliseconds that CPU is spending in the system related tasks. |

|
| UserTime |
Indicates the time in milliseconds which CPU is spending on user tasks. |
