Use the VMWare Processor attributes to create situations that monitor processor statistics for this virtual machine. These attributes are supported only using VMWare ESX 5.0 or later, and only if the VM Tools running on the virtual machine matches the version of the ESX server.
% Processor Time The current load of the VM's virtual processor. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum, the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum, and the value -1 indicates Unavailable.
CPU stolen time The time, in ms, that the VM was able to run but not scheduled to run. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum, the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum, and the value -1 indicates Unavailable.
Effective VM Speed in Mhz The approximate average effective speed of the VM's virtual CPU during the time period between the two samples. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum, the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum, and the value -1 indicates Unavailable.
Host processor speed in MHz The host processor speed. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum, the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum, and the value -1 indicates Unavailable.
Limit in MHz The maximum processing power in MHz allowed to the virtual machine. Assigning a CPU Limit ensures that this virtual machine never consumes more than a certain amount of the available processor power. By limiting the amount of processing power consumed, a portion of the processing power becomes available to other virtual machines. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum, the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum, and the value -1 indicates Unavailable.
Processor The instance name.
Reservation in MHz The minimum processing power in MHz available to the virtual machine. Assigning a CPU Reservation ensures that even as other virtual machines on the same host consume shared processing power, there is still a certain minimum amount for this virtual machine. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum, the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum, and the value -1 indicates Unavailable.
Server 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.
Shares The number of CPU shares allocated to the virtual machine. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum, the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum, and the value -1 indicates Unavailable.
Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server samples the data.
