CPU|CPU Contention (%)	This metric is an indicator of the overall contention for CPU resources that occurs across the workloads in the cluster. When contention occurs, it means that some of the virtual machines are not immediately getting the CPU resources they are requesting. Use this metric to identify when a lack of CPU resources might be causing performance issues in the cluster. This metric is the sum of the CPU contention across all hosts in the cluster averaged over two times the number of physical CPUs in the cluster to account for hyper-threading. CPU contention takes into account: CPU Ready CPU Co-stop Power management Hyper threading This metric is more accurate than CPU Ready since it takes into account CPU Co-stop and Hyper threading. When using this metric, the number should be lower than the performance you expect. If you expect performance at 10%, then the number should be lower than 10%. Since this value is averaged across all hosts in the cluster, you might find that some hosts have a higher CPU contention while others are lower. To ensure that vSphere spreads out the running workloads across hosts, consider enabling a fully automated DRS in the cluster. Key: cpu|capacity_contentionPct
