HP Integrity Essentials Capacity Advisor utilization providers
run on each monitored system to collect information on resource utilization.
At the CPU-clock cycle level, a processor is either busy or idle;
for Capacity Advisor, the average utilization for each 5 minute interval
is stored. Therefore, peaks lasting less than 5 minutes are not visible.
Because each data point is the average of the five preceding
minutes of values, this averaging tends to flatten the graphs, particularly
when compared with real-time graphs in which each data point is the
average of values from the 15 preceding seconds.
