CPU Utilisation is too LOW!

Shouvik Basak — Tue, 01 Feb 2005 05:10:54 GMT

We are getting a message in syslog of a rp8420:
"CPU Utilisation is too LOW! Investigation Required:"

This message is coming especially during times when the load is low in the server. Is there a threshold defined somewhere which initiates this ?

How to rectify this ?

I would really appreciate if somebody can suggest.

Thanks,
Shouvik

Shouvik,

I could not find this error messages in HP site.
It seems it's coming from some script running from crontab and loggin messages through logger comamnd.

please check crontab entries

hi,

could you copy/paste more lines near this error. There should be an indication where this message is coming from.

regards,
Thierry.

Shouvik,
I would think like others here that its coming from some script/application that is being run on your system and monitoring the mentioned resources

Thanks Sunil and Moben. Found a script in crontab which checks for CPU utilization and logs it to syslog when Utilization is below a certain percent.
