VM ESX Hosts with 10000% CPU Load

AlbanyNYMike

Occasionally, Orion will report that the CPU load of an ESX Server (hosting maybe 10 virtual servers) will report over 10 thousand % CPU Utilization?

Anyone seeing this sometimes? 

Nothing super important, but possibly a bug?

This only occurs with ESX host, hosting over 5 machines.   It ussually lasts a polling cycle or two.

This really affects our monthly reports. Even if Orion reports the 10000 % utilization for just a few minutes, that is enough of a hickup to scew monthly reports.

I've only had it to affect ESX version 3.0.x systems and I still hope a fix is around the corner soon - perhaps with NPM 9.5.

Is NPM 9.5 coming out in June 2009? I hope it is. I understand about the reports being screwed up.

Although my issues are with 3.0.x, here's someone having the problem with version 3.5.x
