Problem with ProcessorLoad on the client

[docent]

I use zabbix server and agents v2.2.1.
There is a problem with ProcessorLoad on client.
Periodically I get the events "Processor load is too high", but realy CPU load on the client is about 0%.
When I restart agent on those clients the ProcessorLoad data on Zabbix server falls to 0% too.

Check/show your CPU usage utilization graph. It can be caused slow disk performance, ... - make a investigation on the client during CPU peak (ps, top, htop, ....). Check also Zabbix agent log file/server logs...

I suggest you use CPU Utilization instead of CPU load. That will better mimic the CPU graph you find in Task manager in Windows.

Here is how I added item and trigger for CPU Utilization

Item:
Name: Processor Utilization (1 min average)
Type: Zabbix agent
Key: system.cpu.util[,,avg1]
Type of Information: Numeric (float)
Units: %
Applications: CPU

Trigger:
Name: CPU utilization is too high on {HOST.NAME}
Expression: {Template OS Windows:system.cpu.util[,,avg1].avg(60)}>90
