Use this metric to identify when a lack of CPU resources might be causing performance issues in the cluster.
This metric is more accurate than CPU Ready since it takes into account CPU Co-stop and Hyper threading. When using this metric, the number should be lower than the performance you expect. If you expect performance at 10%, then the number should be lower than 10%. Since this value is averaged across all hosts in the cluster, you might find that some hosts have a higher CPU contention while others are lower. To ensure that vSphere spreads out the running workloads across hosts, consider enabling a fully automated DRS in the cluster. Key: cpu|capacity_contentionPct |
