From reading the documentation on using virtual infrastructure there is a section that states.
Make sure you assign enough CPU power to keep the CPU usage under 50%
Now is that 50% average or 50% max for a stated period of time as it does not go into details?
Currently have a DMA which spikes above 50% max a number of times per day and it not really loaded up with elements.
Hi Richard,
It's more referring to the average. It's no problem to go above 50% now and then. You should just make sure you have sufficient margin on the DMA for client requests and occasional actions on the DMA.

Hi Richard - that would be average. So, when running nominal so to speak, it is recommended to have a DMA running at 50% (so that it can still accommodate the load for more sporadic intermittent activities). Spikes above 50% are absolutely no problem and to be expected.
I’ve adjusted the documentation so this will be clear now. https://github.com/SkylineCommunications/dataminer-docs/pull/2139/files
