cpupercentinterval

CPUPercentInterval is a parameter used in system monitoring and performance analysis to specify the time interval at which the CPU usage percentage is calculated. It determines the frequency at which the system samples the CPU usage, influencing the granularity and accuracy of the data collected. A shorter interval provides more frequent samples, offering a more detailed view of CPU usage over time, but it may also increase the system's overhead due to more frequent sampling. Conversely, a longer interval results in fewer samples, which can reduce system overhead but may lead to a less precise representation of CPU usage patterns. The choice of CPUPercentInterval depends on the specific monitoring requirements and the acceptable trade-off between data accuracy and system performance. It is commonly used in performance monitoring tools and scripts to help administrators and developers identify CPU-intensive processes and optimize system performance.
