| Host/guest | CPU | percent/nanoseconds | idle | Time CPU spends idle. | Can be per cpu/aggregate across all the cpus. For more info, please see: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/top.1.html

| percent/nanoseconds | nice | Time the CPU spent running user space processes that have been niced. The priority level a user space process can be tweaked by adjusting its niceness. | |||
| percent/nanoseconds | interrupt | Time the CPU has spent servicing interrupts. | |||
| percent/nanoseconds | softirq | (apparently) Time spent handling interrupts that are almost as important as Hardware interrupts (above). "In current kernels there are ten softirq vectors defined; two for tasklet processing, two for networking, two for the block layer, two for timers, and one each for the scheduler and read-copy-update processing. The kernel maintains a per-CPU bitmask indicating which softirqs need processing at any given time." [Ref] | |||
| percent/nanoseconds | steal | CPU steal is a measure of the fraction of time that a machine is in a state of “involuntary wait.” It is time for which the kernel cannot otherwise account in one of the traditional classifications like user, system, or idle. It is time that went missing, from the perspective of the kernel. http://www.stackdriver.com/understanding-cpu-steal-experiment/ | |||
| percent/nanoseconds | system | Time that the CPU spent running the kernel. | |||
| percent/nanoseconds | user | Time CPU spends running un-niced user space processes. | |||
| percent/nanoseconds | wait | The time the CPU spends idle while waiting for an I/O operation to complete | |||

This register counts any XOFF packet whether it is a legacy XOFF or a priority XOFF. Each XOFF packet is counted once even if it is designated to a few priorities. If a priority FC packet contains both XOFF and XON, only this counter is incremented. | ||||
