Hi,

I have set both DCI, the Average CPU remains over a long period arround 40% while the Average 15 min. is stays arround 1%.
How should I interpret these numbers?

Hi!

Such difference is very strange. What operating system and agent version is on that machine? And you mean System.CPU.Usage parameter, not System.CPU.LoadAvg, right?

Best regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

You found my mistake. I had "System.CPU.LoadAvg15" set instead of "System.CPU.Usage15" which explains the discrepancy in values. shame on me!
Once correctly set the two counters are returning consistent values.

Thanks for the prompt reply and solution.

Dan
