-------------------------------
Component/s: Circuit Breakers
> CPU circuit breaker needs to use CPU utilization, not Unix load average
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------

> The config range, 50% to 95%, assumes that the circuit breaker is triggered
> by a CPU utilization metric that goes from 0% to 100%. But the code uses the
> metric OperatingSystemMXBean.getSystemLoadAverage(). That is an average of
> the count of processes waiting to run. It is effectively unbounded. I've seen
> it as high as 50 to 100. It is not bound by 1.0 (100%).
> A good limit for load average would need to be aware of the number of CPUs
> available to the JVM. A load average of 8 is no problem for a 32 CPU host. It
> is a critical situation for a 2 CPU host.
> Also, load average is a Unix OS metric. I don't know if it is even available
> on Windows.
> Instead, use a CPU utilization metric that goes from 0.0 to 1.0. A good
> choice is OperatingSystemMXBean.getSystemCPULoad(). This name also uses
> "load", but it is a usage metric.
> From the Javadoc:
> > Returns the "recent cpu usage" for the whole system. This value is a double
> >in the [0.0,1.0] interval. A value of 0.0 means that all CPUs were idle
> >during the recent period of time observed, while a value of 1.0 means that
> >all CPUs were actively running 100% of the time during the recent period
> >being observed. All values betweens 0.0 and 1.0 are possible depending of
> >the activities going on in the system. If the system recent cpu usage is not
> >available, the method returns a negative value.
> https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/jre/api/management/extension/com/sun/management/OperatingSystemMXBean.html#getSystemCpuLoad()
> Also update the documentation to explain which JMX metrics are used for the
> memory and CPU circuit breakers.
