How to interpret CPU time vs CPU percentage

Question

When I check azure monitoring tool, CPU usages are shown in CPU time

min: 4.69s  
max: 2008.08 s  
avg : 207.63 s

I am familiar with CPU% w

Answer 1

Some cloud monitoring tools give resource usage in standard time measures. (seconds, hours, days etc.)

If you have usage in seconds like,

min: 4.69s  
max: 2008.08 s  
avg : 207.63 s

Then you can find out usage in % from above using definition of %.

% utilization = (resource used time / total resource availability time)

ex: if cpu was available for 100 seconds and out of that 80 seconds it was used then

% utilization = 80/100 = 80% CPU utilization

From your given time, total available time is missing. Find that out and use above formula.

% utilization = avg. usage/total availability

no. of cores shouldn't matter as that is present in both cases.

% utilization = ( (no. of cores * avg util)/(no. of core * total availability))  

I am not sure about azure cloud monitoring but if it is providing same then you can use it.
