Whilst OpsMgr provides the ability to monitor CPU usage and create alerts should the CPU utilization surpassed the threshold set within the monitors. But how do you test CPU utilization? How do we get the CPU's of our servers to hit 100% so that OpsMgr would be able to detect it?
I found a blog entry which shares with us on how to do it ... using our good old friend Calculator.exe.
i) Launch Calculator
ii) Set your calculator to Scientific
iii) Type 123456789
iv) Press the n! button
You shall see that your CPU utilization spiked up to 100% immediately.
