High CPU alerts

2790985Jun 14 2015 — edited Aug 5 2015

Hi,

I am frequently receiving alerts for high CPU as shown below.

Message: CPU Utilization is 96.029%, crossed warning (80) or critical (95) threshold.

My findings

But I could see none of the processes are occupying more CPU on the server. Could you please comment as why I am receiving alerts for high CPU when CPU% is below threshold value?.
