CPU Load sensor 99%

Modified on 2025-06-10 12:29:07 +0200

Hi,

I've been recieving emails from PTRG with the following message:

'99 % (System CPU Load) is above the error limit of 90 % in System CPU Load. When CPU load on the probe system is very high, measurements may be incorrect'

How do I identify what is causing such a large strain on my DC's CPU?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello there,
we appreciate your contact.

Based on the error message, your Probe Health sensor is complaining about the CPU usage on a device used as PRTG Probe. Did you install a remote probe on a Domain Controller?

But in any case, please refer to the following KB-Post which approaches the topic "How to identify the culprit for high CPU Usage":
