Configuring a CPU Utilization Threshold
- Last Updated: August 28, 2024

Track device CPU load within a moving time frame. See periods where CPU load is abnormally peaked (load bottlenecks, service attacks, or other service incidents) or abnormally slow (server dropped from load balancer configuration, kernel panic) and more.
Configure a CPU utilization threshold:
- Name. Used in the Threshold library and the title on the Alert Center Dashboard.
- Notification Policy. (Optional) Select the notification policy to apply to this threshold. The policy initiates notifications when an item is outside the configured threshold limits.
- Threshold Check Interval. Enter a time interval for Alert Center to check the WhatsUp Gold database for items that are out of the threshold limits.
Automatically resolve items no longer out of threshold. Select this option if you want Alert Center to automatically resolve items when they return to the value within the threshold limit.
註: Notification policies are optional for most thresholds. If you do not select a
notification policy, no notifications are generated for the threshold, but a dashboard
report listing the out of threshold items still appears on the Alert Center Home
page.
Add Condition Rules:
- Report. Select CPU utilization threshold monitor method,
device or CPU option.
- Device-wide combined CPU utilization. Select this option to calculate the threshold based on the average-combined CPU load evaluated as a single device. Therefore, if the average CPU performance of a quad-core CPU (an average of all CPU performance combined) exceeds the threshold, then an alert is triggered.
- Individual CPU utilization. Select this option to calculate the threshold based on individual CPU load for the selected device. Therefore, if one of the CPUs on a quad-core CPU exceeds the threshold, then an alert is triggered.
- CPU Utilization (average). Choose a trend (Exceeds, Falls-below) and a value for average CPU load in percent.
- Duration. Specify a time range or
"rolling interval" for calculating an average to compare to CPU
Utilization threshold.提示: Notification policies are optional for most thresholds. Out of threshold items still appear on the Alert Center dashboard.
註: Configure
the threshold check interval for a longer time than the sampling interval for
thresholds relating to trends, such as percent utilization. Configure it for a time
the same as (or similar to) the sampling interval when configuring a threshold for a
health check.
提示: Avoid
setting the threshold check interval to a very short time, as this can degrade
system performance. In general, setting the threshold check interval to less than
five minutes is not advised.
選取要套用的裝置 
- 套用到所有裝置:在預設情況下,臨界值會監控所有適用主機。
排除裝置:選取來建立或套用一個排除清單。 - 按一下 [將此臨界值套用於特定的裝置] 來選擇要套用此臨界值的主機。 註: 設定臨界值檢查間隔時間時,請設定成比趨勢相關臨界值(例如使用率)取樣間隔時間更長。為健全狀況檢查設定臨界值時,請設定成與取樣間隔時間相同(或類似)。
