Of course you can adjust the [1m] parameter (and others) as you need. Not sure it is Prometheus or we are trying it wrong. Not sure it is Prometheus or we are trying it wrong. Sign in to view. High CPU load is a common cause of issues.
This comment has been minimized. Also, 100 - (avg (irate(wmi_cpu_time_total{mode="idle"}[5m])) * 100) vs avg (wmi_cpu_percentage) is what I was talking about w.r.t.
A certain amount of Prometheus's query language is reasonably obvious, but once you start getting into the details and the clever tricks you wind up needing to wrap your mind around how PromQL wants you to think about its world. Or the low CPU usage periods in-between spikes.
Closed vincus opened this issue Sep 4, 2017 ... ordinary system cpu usage data. A certain amount of Prometheus's query language is reasonably obvious, but once you start getting into the details and the clever tricks you wind up needing to wrap your mind around how PromQL wants you to think about its world. If I scrape that Prometheus instance every 5s and look at irate() with a resolution that's a multiple of 10 seconds, I will only ever see either the spikes (when rules are evaluated) or the troughs, whereas the actual CPU utilization is actually the average of the two. # TYPE node_cpu counter node_cpu_seconds_total{cpu="0",mode="guest"} 0 node_cpu_seconds_total{cpu="0",mode="idle"} … Today I want to tackle one apparently obvious thing, which is getting a graph (or numbers) of CPU utilization. It does this by a calculation based on the idle metric of the CPU, working out the overall percentage of the other states for a CPU in a 5 minute window and presenting that data per instance. Let's look at how to dig into it with Prometheus and the Node exporter. This query ultimately provides an overall metric for CPU usage, per instance. It does this by a calculation based on the idle metric of the CPU, working out the overall percentage of the other states for a CPU in a 5 minute window and presenting that data per instance.
Please let me know if that helped. 10 comments ... ordinary system cpu usage data. prometheus CPU calculation #2678. On a Node exporters' metrics page, part of the output is: # HELP node_cpu Seconds the cpus spent in each mode. This comment has been minimized. Hey, thanks for your answer. Understanding Machine CPU usage. Understanding Machine CPU usage. I run a Prometheus instance that evaluates rules every 10 seconds. On a Node exporters' metrics page, part of the output is: # HELP node_cpu Seconds the cpus spent in each mode. This query ultimately provides an overall metric for CPU usage, per instance. Complete list of metrics available, most of them are self-explanatory: CPU utilization metrics.

Not sure it is Prometheus or we are trying it wrong. I run a Prometheus instance that evaluates rules every 10 seconds. E.g. Both queries you cited give the current CPU usage of the namespaces in cores or CPU time (would be nice to know which), but that's not what I need. Well, you ask prometheus for user cpu and you get it, then …
