Proccessor Load Help

[sbarnett]

I am trying to find the right config for monitoring CPU Usage on Windows Servers using the Windows_Template. I want it to trigger a alert when it hits 90% or higher. What is the right config for this here is what I have and it is not working.

{SERVER:system.cpu.load[,avg1]. min( 300 ) }>5

I have a serve that is hitting around 95% and this trigger is not showing that amount of usage.

Hope you kinda of understand what I am looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm I would try with idle: system.cpu.util[,idle,avg1] < 5 This mean the CPU is 95% used and 5% idle.

This would give you a real CPU utilization measurement. Load is not the same thing with CPU utilization.

Try this and got this.

Incorrect trigger expression. [{XYZ:system.cpu.util[idle,avg1]} < 5]

Any suggestions
