Table 1‑15. CPU Use Metrics for Virtual Machines (Continued)
Metric Key Metric Name Description
cpu|guaranteed_latest Guaranteed (ms) CPU time that is guaranteed for the
virtual machine.
cpu|swapwait_summation Swap Wait (ms) Swap wait time in milliseconds.
cpu|costop_summation Co-stop (ms) Time the VM is ready to run, but is
unable to due to co-scheduling
constraints.
cpu|costopPct Co-stop (%) Percentage of time the VM is ready to
run, but is unable to due to co-
scheduling constraints.
cpu|idle_summation Idle (ms) CPU time that is idle.
cpu|latency_average Latency Percentage of time the VM is unable
to run because it is contending for
access to the physical CPUs.
cpu|maxlimited_summation Max Limited Time the VM is ready to run, but is
not run due to maxing out its CPU
limit seing.
cpu|overlap_summation Overlap Time the VM was interrupted to
perform system services on behalf of
that VM or other VMs.
cpu|run_summation Run Time the VM is scheduled to run.
cpu|entitlement_latest Entitlement Latest Entitlement Latest.
