This table contains the values for each category of the counters that measure CPU performance.
| Counter Name | Category | Value |
|---|---|---|
| usage | ||
| unit | Percentage, precision to 1/100 percentage point, so 1 = 0.01%. A value between 0 and 10000. | |
| description | CPU usage as a percentage over the interval of collection. | |
| statistic type | rate | |
| rollup type | average, minimum, maximum | |
| entity | host, virtual machine | |
| usagemhz | ||
| unit | MHz | |
| description | CPU usage in MHz over the interval of collection. | |
| statistic type | rate | |
| rollup type | average, minimum, maximum | |
| entity | host, virtual machine, compute resources, and resource pools | |
| system | ||
| unit | millisecond | |
| description | CPU time spent on system processes. | |
| statistic type | delta | |
| rollup type | summation | |
| entity | virtual machine (per cpu instance only) | |
| wait | ||
| unit | millisecond | |
| description | CPU time spent on wait state. | |
| statistic type | delta | |
| rollup type | summation | |
| entity | virtual machine (per cpu instance only) | |
| ready | ||
| unit | millisecond | |
| description | CPU time spent on ready state. | |
| statistic type | delta | |
| rollup type | summation | |
| entity | virtual machine (per cpu instance only) | |
| extra | ||
| unit | millisecond | |
| description | CPU time that is extra. | |
| statistic type | delta | |
| rollup type | summation | |
| entity | virtual machine (per cpu instance only) | |
| used | ||
| unit | millisecond | |
| description | CPU time that is used. | |
| statistic type | delta | |
| rollup type | summation | |
| entity | virtual machine (per cpu instance only) | |
| guaranteed | ||
| unit | millisecond | |

| reservedCapacity | ||
| unit | MHz | |
| description | The value of the reservation property of the host's resource pool, or the sum of the reservation properties of the resource pool's (immediate) children, whichever is larger. Note that children's sum of reservations can be larger than that of the parent only if the parent is marked as reservationExpandable. | |
| statistic type | absolute | |
| rollup type | average | |
| entity | host |
