Processor topology object

Tracks the metrics for a single processor. Multiple processors can be attached to a Host, each identified with a unique name (or number).

Table 62. Processor topology object
Metric Name	Metric Description	Metric Collected for These Platforms
name	The name of the processor, typically just a unique number in the system (0, 1, 2, etc).	AIX® HP-UX Linux® Solaris® Windows®
percentIOWaitTime	The percentage of time that the processor was idle while there was at least one I/O in progress.	AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris
percentIdleTime	The percentage of time that the processor was idle.	AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows
percentSystemTime	The percentage of time that the processor spent executing system code in user mode.	AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows
percentUserTime	The percentage of time that the processor spent executing user code.	AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows
processorType	The type of processor.	AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris
stepping	The stepping revision.	AIX¹ HP-UX² Linux
totalHz	The speed (measured in Hertz) of a physical processor, or the number of cycles allocated to a virtual processor.	AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows
usedHz	The amount of clock cycles (measured in Hertz) being used on a processor.	AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows
utilization	The percentage of time that the processor was utilized (that is, not idle).	AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows

1

This metric is not collected for native.

2

This metric is only available on Itanium systems using non-native collectors.

WinHostProcessInstance topology object

On Windows®, instances of WinHostProcessInstance are used instead of HostProcessInstance. These topology objects extend HostProcessInstance with a few more details that can be captured on Windows platforms.

Table 63. WinHostProcessInstance topology object
Metric Name	Metric Description	Metric Collected for These Platforms
commandLine	The full command line used to launch the executable.	Windows®
creationDate	The time the process instance was created.	Windows
executablePath	The full path to the executable.	Windows

What is a regular expression?

A regular expression is a sequence of characters used to describe text ranges, patterns, and various kinds of special conditions. Regular expressions are supported in many programming languages, including Java® and Groovy, the core languages that Foglight uses.

The syntax of Groovy regular expressions comes from Java, so the syntax of Java and Groovy regular expressions is the same.
