Zabbix Processor load in percentage

[Kpax]

Greeting,

we work on zabbix ver 4.0 there is a way to get the info in percentage? for Processor load
Zabbix shows the graphs 0.1,1.0,1.2 and so on....

Hi,

Zabbix system.cpu.util item does that. https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...s/zabbix_agent

But you may want to learn what is the difference between CPU load and utilization in percentage first.

much appreciated Ingus for the direction,

I created another Item and attache to it trigger with the value as it shows in link documentation.

at the moment "Processor load is too high on {HOST.NAME} system.cpu.util[0,user,avg5]" still get 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.6

with no success there is another way? is Zabbix know maybe to connect to Prefmon instead?


thanks again,

Kpax

On an idle server it is absolutely normal to see utilization of CPU user time as 0.6% as 5 minute average.

Again, you need to understand yourself what exact metrics you are looking for and what they actually mean. Processor utilization in % is much more than just one number particularly if you are monitoring this on a non-windows machine.

Hey Ingus,

I done some homework the difference between CPU load and CPU utilization

CPU load is not the same as CPU utilization. CPU Load is a measurement of the average number of processes waiting on the processor, whilst utilization is the amount of time the processor was doing work during a given time snapshot.

My task is pretty simple I wanna to Display the Windows Server 2012 Utilization in % and show it in a graph.

I creating Item system.cpu.util[all,system,avg1] with no success graph still not showing any data.

I try various of option non of them gives proper data.

::Solved::

For Zabbix ver.4.0 method that works for me:

for monitor windows cpu utilazation % with the item:
system.cpu.util[,system,avg1]
unit %
Type numeric-float
interval 1m

for monitor windows memory usage % you need to create item and trigger:
vm.memory.size[pused]
unit %
Type numeric-float
interval 1m

with the Trigger for: Problem & Recovery msg
{Template OS Windows:vm.memory.size[pused].last(0)}>100
{Template OS Windows:vm.memory.size[pused].last(0)}<95



good luck
