CPU monitoring

I disable CPU monitoring by default. If you ever need to temporarily enable it for testing or to identify issues, I've used these thresholds safely:

  • Monitor name: Total CPU Utilization Percentage
  • Monitor target: Windows Server 2012 Operating System or Windows Server 2016 and above Operating System
  • Alert Priority: Low
  • Alert Severity: Information
  • CPU Percentage Utilizaton Threshold: 50 (or whatever you want)
  • CPU Queue Length Threshold: 3
  • Interval seconds: 120
  • Number of Samples: 1

Notes

If you need to enable this for a group of servers, it's often easier to create a non-sealed mp with a group and manually add the servers using Windows Computer class. You can kill the mp when done troubleshooting.
