CPU monitoring

Usage, temperature, and core metrics.

Overview

CPU monitoring tracks processor usage across your servers. High CPU usage can indicate performance issues, runaway processes, or capacity problems.

CPU metrics

  • Usage percentage: Current CPU utilization (0-100%)
  • Load average: Average system load over 1, 5, and 15 minutes
  • Core count: Number of CPU cores available
  • Temperature: CPU temperature (where supported)

Typical values

UsageStatus
0-30%Normal—plenty of headroom
30-70%Moderate—acceptable for production
70-90%High—consider scaling
90-100%Critical—immediate attention needed
