CPU Utilization

The CPU Utilization Monitor displays overall CPU usage over time, providing information about peak CPU usage. This indicates whether there is sufficient CPU processing power for the currently deployed FM appliance deployment. For example, peak CPU usage above a high-utilization mark of 90 for a long period for more than 30 minutes could indicate that the CPU power of the server is not adequate for GigaVUE‑FM to manage the size of the deployed visibility fabric.

The CPU Utilization Monitor displays utilization as donut and time charts. The donut chart shows the percentage of utilized and available CPU. The time chart shows utilization at specific intervals. By clicking on a point in the time chart, you can see the utilization at a specific point in time. In Figure 1, the CPU utilization at 10:49:55 AM is 1.0 percent.
