Hello everyone,
We are continuously breaching thresholds with CPU load alerts in SAM. Upon investigation, I am finding that the actual CPU utilization is much less. (CPU Load=100% vs. CPU Utilization=40%). Has anyone else run into this? Where do you suggest that we start?
I know this post is a year old but.... bump 
I have an Orion server (primary poller, a VM) showing itself having all 4 CPU cores consistently (for hours) at 198-00% "CPU Load" (Its showing this in the web UI as I have the Orion server in there with standard node monitoring). All the OS tools (perfmon), vSphere tools, and anything else I find *but* Orion show the CPU running waaaaaay below this (20-50%, with some spikes to 90%), but these are reporting % CPU Usage (or other metrics) and not "CPU Load". From every perspective *but* Orion itself the server looks like it's not using much CPU. Orion thinks its almost on fire.
Is "CPU Load" some sort of calculation over x time points? How is "CPU Load" determined?
The reason I'm a little concerned is because if we're alerting on "CPU Load" and it's not indicative of what people think it is (The Total % CPU Usage......or average, or total at the time of polling) then we may need to adjust our alerting thresholds.
