Use the Process Information attributes to monitor system processors. The data source for these attributes is WMI. To avoid throughput issues with the Microsoft WMI stack, you should limit the collection frequency to 5 minute intervals. This ensures that the Microsoft WMI Data queues have sufficient time to service the WMI queries made for collecting these attributes.
Current Clock Speed Current speed of the processor, in MHz.
L2 Cache Size L2 cache size of the processor. This value is presented in KB.
Load Percentage Load capacity of each processor, averaged to the last second. Processor loading refers to the total computing burden for each processor at one time.
Maximum Clock Speed Maximum speed of the processor, in MHz.
Power Management Support If TRUE, the power of the device can be managed, which means that it can be put in to suspend mode, and so on. The property does not indicate that power management features are enabled, but it does indicate that the logical device power can be managed.
Processor Address Width Processor address width, in bits. This represents the size of a pointer type on the processor. On a 32-bit processor, the value is 32 and on a 64-bit processor it is 64.
Processor Data Width Processor data width, in bits.
Processor Description Processor description.
Processor Device ID Unique identifier of a processor on the system.
Processor ID Processor information that describes the processor features. For an x86 class CPU, the field format depends on the processor support of the CPUID instruction. If the instruction is supported, the property contains 2 (two) DWORD formatted values. The first is an offset of 08h-0Bh, which is the EAX value that a CPUID instruction returns with input EAX set to 1. The second is an offset of 0Ch-0Fh, which is the EDX value that the instruction returns. Only the first two bytes of the property are significant and contain the contents of the DX register at CPU reset all others are set to 0 (zero), and the contents are in DWORD format.
Processor Manufacturer Name of the processor manufacturer.
Processor Name Processor name.
Processor Version Processor revision number that depends on the architecture.
Socket Designation Type of chip socket used on the circuit card.
System Name The managed system name. The form should be hostname:agent_code.
Examples include spark:KNT or deux.raleigh.ibm.com:KNT.
In workspace queries, this attribute should be set equal to the value $NODE$ in order to populate the workspace with data. This attribute is generally not included in situations, unless there is a need to customize the situation for a specific managed system.
Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server samples the data.
