It queries Processor object from Perflib in order to gather the metrics.

This collector is only supported on the following platforms:

  • windows

This collector only supports collecting metrics from a single instance of this integration.

Default Behavior​

Auto-Detection​

The collector automatically detects all of the metrics, no further configuration is required.

Limits​

The following alerts are available:

Alert nameOn metricDescription
10min_cpu_usage system.cpuAverage CPU utilization over the last 10 minutes

Metrics​

Metrics grouped by scope.

The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.

Per System​

These metrics refer to the entire system.

This scope has no labels.

Metrics:

MetricDescriptionDimensionsUnit
system.cpuTotal CPU utilizationinterrupts, user, privileged, dpcpercentage

Per CPU​

These metrics provide information about individual CPU cores.

Labels:

LabelDescription
cpuThe identifier of the CPU core. On Windows systems, CPU cores are labeled as 'cpu0', 'cpu1', etc.
