Monitoring CPU Usage

Usage and Config Platform

(imported topic written by IanR2974)

Hello,

I need to Monitor the “BESClient” CPU Usage on 3 Solaris systems and i was wondering if this is something that TEM/IEM can do. I have looked at the built in checks, but cannot see anything there. I have also looked at creating my own check but cant see how you would be able to do it.

Can it be done?

Thanks in advance

Ian

Hi IanR2974,

I don’t think that IEM can monitor the CPU usage dynamically. You need another monitoring agent such as ITM though, it’s possible for us to control how many percentage of CPU usage is allowed for BES Client. In order to define this you can deploy a task named with BES Client Setting: CPU Usage in BES Support external site. You can also specify the parameters stated in the link below.

Hope it helps, thanks.

This can be done. (sort of)

Please look at the Analysis I have created for windows here:
http://bigfix.me/analysis/details/2994563

Specifically the property called “% CPU of Processes” which does report the % of CPU usage of all processes with % CPU greater than 0 on windows machines.

This property uses WMI which makes it Windows only, but there may be a way to query the same info on other operating systems using Relevance.
