Sometimes PRTG WMI CPU Sensor will report values as high as 9,600%, invalidating all the historic graph data due to the incorrect graph scaling. I have seen this in more than one WMI CPU Sensor and will need a workaround to edit this values in order to correct these otherwise unvaluable CPU usage graphs.

Have you tried enabling the Spike Filter in the sensors channel settings?

Thank you very much! That seems to do the trick for live and 2 days graphs - I suppose the spikes on 30 days and 365 days graphs will be removed once they are updated.

I have tried to enable the spike filter on the Total channel (min 0% - max 100%) but 30-days & 365-days graphs still have spikes above 100%. Should I wait for PRTG to update graphs or restart it?

Recalculation is done in the background and can take some time, so I would wait until the graphs are updated.
