Resource Model Reference

This indication is sent when the CPU can not keep up with hardware requests.

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 must not be exceeded.	600
Total CPUs Modifier (TotalCPUsMod)	This threshold is a modifier that is added to the total number of CPUs in the system. The result is the threshold that determines when the queue for the systems processors is too long.	10

The following table shows the default settings for this indication:

Setting	Default
Send indications to Tivoli Enterprise Console	Yes
Send indications to Tivoli Business Systems Manager	No
Occurrences	15
Holes	3
