Measures reported by NetSnmpCpuTest

This test provides CPU usage statistics by polling the NetSNMP MIB.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total_usage The total CPU usage of the server 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. Check the currently running processes to see the exact cause of the problem.
User_cpu The percentage of CPU that is being used for user processes Percent An unusually high value indicates a problem and may be due to too many user tasks executing simultaneously.
System_cpu The percentage of CPU that is being used for system processes Percent An unusually high value indicates a problem and may be due to too many system-level tasks executing simultaneously.
Nice_cpu The percentage of CPU being used by Nice processes (i.e., processes that do not have the default priority) Percent  
Idle_cpu The percentage of time that the server is idle Percent
