Metric Key Metric Name Description
cpu|waitPct Wait (%) Percentage of total CPU time spent in
wait state.
cpu|systemSummationPct System (%) Percentage CPU time spent on
system processes.
cpu|demandOverLimit Demand Over Limit (MHz) Amount of CPU Demand that is over
the congured CPU Limit.
cpu|demandOverCapacity Demand Over Capacity (MHz) Amount of CPU Demand that is over
the congured CPU Capacity.
cpu|sizePctReduction Recommended Size Reduction
(%)
Percentage of recommended CPU
size reduction.
cpu|perCpuCoStopPct Normalized Co-stop Percentage of co-stop time,
normalized across all vCPUs.
cpu|numberToAdd Recommended number of vCPUs
to Add
Recommended number of vCPUs to
Add to the VM.
cpu|numberToRemove Recommended number of vCPUs
to Remove
Recommended number of vCPUs to
Remove from the VM.
cpu|capacity_entitlement Capacity entitlement (MHz) CPU entitlement for the VM after
taking limits into account.
cpu|corecount_provisioned Provisioned CPU Cores Number of provisioned CPU cores.
cpu|capacity_demandEntitlementPct Capacity Demand Entitlement (%) Percent capacity demand entitlement.
cpu|capacity_contentionPct CPU Contention (%) CPU contention as a percentage of
20-second collection interval.
cpu|capacity_provisioned Provisioned Capacity (MHz) Provisioned CPU capacity in
megahertrz.
cpu|demandmhz Demand (MHz) CPU demand in megaher.
cpu|host_demand_for_aggregation Host demand for aggregation Host demand for aggregation.
cpu|demand_average Demand (ms) The total CPU time that the VM
could use if there was no contention.
cpu|demandPct Demand (%) CPU demand as a percentage of the
provisioned capacity.
cpu|dynamic_entitlement Dynamic Entitlement CPU Dynamic Entitlement.
cpu|usage_average Usage (%) CPU Usage as a percentage of 20-
second collection interval.

cpu|system_summation System (ms) CPU time spent on system processes.
cpu|wait_summation Wait (ms) Total time that a virtual CPU can not
be run. It could be idle (halted) or
waiting for an external event such as
I/O.
cpu|ready_summation Ready (ms) CPU time spent in the ready state.
cpu|readyPct Ready (%) CPU time spent in the ready state as
a percentage of the collection
interval.
cpu|used_summation Used (ms) CPU time that is used.
cpu|extra_summation Extra (ms) Extra CPU time in milliseconds.
