Use System attributes to monitor total count information for all processors on a system. This information represents overall system activity. System is a single-instance attribute group.
% Total Privileged Time The total percentage of elapsed time a system has been busy executing instructions in privileged mode. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage) and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: -1 indicates Unknown. Note that the attribute value is averaged in synch with the situation or historical collection interval.
% Total Processor Time The % Total Processor Time is the average percentage of time that all the processors on the system are busy executing non-idle threads. On a multiprocessor system, if all processors are always busy this is 100%, if all processors are 50% busy this is 50% and if one-fourth of the processors are busy this is 25%. It can be viewed as the fraction of the time spent doing useful work. Each processor is assigned an Idle thread in the Idle process which consumes those unproductive processor cycles not used by any other threads. Note: -1 indicates Unknown. Note that the attribute value is averaged in synch with the situation or historical collection interval.
Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage) and can include the use of the *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.
