---|---|---|---|
Interrupt time |
Indicates the percentage of time spent by the processor for receiving and servicing the hardware interrupts during the last polling interval. |
Percent |
This is an indirect indicator of the activity of devices that generate interrupts such as system Clocks, the mouse device drivers, data communication lines, network interface cards and other peripheral devices. In general, a very high value of this measure might indicate that a disk or network adapter needs upgrading or replacing. |
