Processor Queue Length Alarm
This alarm becomes active when the length of the processor thread queue reaches a threshold for sustained activity.
A long sustained queue length indicates a processor bottleneck - leading to overall system degradation.
To rectify this, you should look at:
- The Processes page of the Processes drilldown to see which Windows process is consuming the CPU.
- Possibly moving some processing activities to another system.
- Add an additional CPU to the system – the waiting threads will be load balanced between all available processors.
- Upgrade to a faster CPU. This will allow the CPU to process threads faster, but may not reap the same rewards as adding an additional CPU.
