Measures reported by JvmCpuTest

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 classes and the methods within the classes that contributing to the resource contention at the JVM.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit 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.
