High CPU usage
To query the Performance Store database for servers with a CPU usage greater than or equal to 95 %, use:
select s.* from dbo.v_servers s where s.cpu_usage >= 95
CPU usage is available on the Overview 1 dashboard:
CPU time information for each query is availabe in the following dashboards:
- Activity dashboard
- Activity (current) dashboard
- Activity (aggregated) dashboard
- Top completed queries dashboard
An alert is thrown if the CPU usage is greater than or equal to 95 3 times within 10 minutes.
The alert will be visible on the Latest stats dashboard.
To exclude specific servers from this alert, see how to use the dbo.team_alert_exclude table in Alerting.
