Hello,
I'm trying to set up a template for CPU usage and I am using the CPU Usage test method. Does this simply check the CPU usage at point of check or does it sample it over a certain period?
If it samples it at time of check is there any way to get an average over x amount as on quite a few of our servers CPU intensive applications can trigger that push it over the threshold.
Thanks in advance

CPU Usage test checks CPU usage at the point of check.
What period of average value do you want to use ?
As a workaround of CPU Usage spikes, you may modify action profile.
E.g. setup action to send alert after 2 or 3 consecutive "Bad" results.
In addition you may use "Repeat test" action.
If you need average CPU usage over longer period of time, you may use statictics variables like:
%StatTODAY_AverageReply%
%StatYESTERDAY_AverageReply%
%Stat24Hours_AverageReply%
%StatThisWeek_AverageReply%
and other statistic macto variables.
