System data counters

Data counter definitions

Name Description Version Granularity Type Level
percentCpuUsage The average system CPU utilization taken over the time interval since the last reading. Because the first call is required to perform initialization, an invalid value such as 0 will be returned. All subsequent calls will return the expected value. On SMP machines, the value returned will be the utilization averaged over all CPUs. 5.0 per node CountStatistic Low
freeMemory The amount of real free memory available on the system. Real memory that is not allocated is only a lower bound on available real memory, since many operating systems take some of the otherwise unallocated memory and use it for additional I/O buffering. The exact amount of buffer memory which can be freed up is dependent on both the platform and the application(s) running on it. 5.0 per node CountStatistic Low
avgCpuUsage The average percentCpuUsage that is busy after the server is started 5.0 per node TimeStatistic Medium
