The alert is triggered in a warning state when the CPU utilization is between 75-85% and in a critical state when it is between 85-95%. - -### What does high CPU usage mean? - -High CPU usage indicates that the virtual machine's CPU resources are being heavily utilized. This can lead to performance issues, slow response times, and decreased stability. - -### Troubleshoot the alert - -1. Confirm the high CPU usage by logging into the vSphere management console and checking the CPU performance metrics for the affected virtual machine(s). - -2. Identify the cause of high CPU usage: - - - Check the virtual machine's running processes to identify any resource-intensive applications or services. You can use the `top` command on Linux-based virtual machines or Task Manager on Windows-based virtual machines. - - Inspect application logs and system logs for any signs of issues, errors, or crashes that could be contributing to high CPU usage. - - Verify if the virtual machine has adequate CPU resources allocated. If the virtual machine is consistently using a high percentage of its allocated CPU resources, consider increasing the allocated CPU resources. - -3. Remediate the issue: - - - If an application or service is responsible for the high CPU usage, try restarting it or addressing the specific issue causing the problem. - - If the virtual machine is consistently using a high percentage of its allocated CPU resources, consider increasing the allocated CPU resources or optimizing the virtual machine's performance through application and OS tuning. - - Monitor the CPU usage after making changes to ensure that the issue has been resolved. - -### Useful resources - -1.
