This resource model should be distributed to Windows endpoints. |
The Processor resource model detects bottlenecks happening within or from the Central Processing Unit (CPU). The Processor resource model highlights the following problems:
Because every process and every device on the system has to interact with the CPU, either directly or through a controller, it is imperative that the CPU is not being extensively used by a single process or device for an extended period of time. There may be exceptions to this rule for certain application-based servers.
The system administrator needs ultimately to decide how much utilization one process makes of the CPU for these situations. Tests to determine how busy a CPU are include checking the percentage usage, the percentage interrupts, and the queue length.
With systems running with more than one processor, it is not always obvious that a CPU may not be working. A check is made to ensure that all CPUs are being utilized at approximately the same rate.
If there are problems with a CPU, the CPU activity will either be abnormally high or totally inactive, in either case this check will detect the CPU that is faulty.
