CPU Core Sensors Test

For each CPU core available in the host system, this test reports the current speed, temperature and power of the CPU core. In addition, this test reports the percentage of load handled by each CPU core. This way, administrators may be alerted to the impending load balancing issues caused by the CPU cores.

Target of the test: Any host system

Agent executing the test: An internal agent

Output of the test: One set of results for each CPU core of the host system being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Clock Speed	Indicates the current speed of this CPU core.	MHz	A very low value for this measure indicates that the CPU core is slow. Comparing the value of this measure across CPU cores will point you to that CPU core that is currently very slow.
Temperature	Indicates the current temperature of this CPU core.	Celsius	The value of this measure should be within optimal range. A sudden/gradual increase in the value of this measure may impact the functioning of the CPU core and needs to be attended to immediately.
Load Utilized	Indicates the percentage of load handled by this CPU core.	Percent	Comparing the value of this measure across the CPU cores will help you identify the CPU core that is overloaded.
Power utilized	Indicates the power consumed by this CPU core.	Watts
