Busy Hardware

This indication is sent when one or more devices installed on the system are tying up the CPU.

The indication has the following attributes:

PercentProcessorTime
The total current percentage usage of the CPU

PercentInterruptTime
The current percentage usage of the CPU as it handles interrupt requests

InterruptsSec
The number of interrupts per second that are passed to the CPU

Processor
The processor being monitored (Key attribute)

The indication is generated when the following thresholds are exceeded:

Threshold Description Default
High CPU Usage (HighCPUUsage) This threshold indicates when a high percent of the CPU is being used. CPUs are expected to reach 100% marks quite often, but generally not expected to sustain that rate for an extended amount of time. 80
High CPU Usage Interrupt (HighCPUUsageInterrupt) This threshold indicates when a high percent of the CPU is being used for interrupt requests, generally made by hardware devices. 20
High Interrupts per Second (HighInterruptsSec) This threshold indicates the maximum rate at which the devices installed on the system are accessing the CPU (interrupts per second) 600

The following table shows the default settings for this indication:


Setting Default
Send indications to Tivoli Enterprise Console Yes
