About the SCC CPU Utilization report
The CPU Utilization report summarizes the percentage of the CPU used within the time period specified.
Typically, a SteelHead operates on approximately 30 to 40 percent CPU capacity during nonpeak hours and approximately 60 to 70 percent capacity during peak hours. No single SteelHead CPU usage should exceed 90 percent.
The CPU Utilization report answers these questions:
• How much of the CPU is being used?
• What is the average and peak percentage of the CPU being used?
Mouse over a specific data point to see what the y values and exact time stamp were in relation to peaks.
The Riverbed system reports for periods up to one month. Due to performance and disk space considerations, the display granularity decreases with time passed since the data was sampled.
