Hi Experts,

I got an alert which I couldn’t find any solution please let me know how to resolve this alert, as it is and windows alert
The threshold for the Processor\% Interrupt Time\_Total performance counter has been exceeded. The value that exceeded the threshold is: 14.8860712528229
As per the Microsoft it says that (Alerts are generated based on the values that are set for the free-space thresholds. Values below the established thresholds trigger alerts. However, alerts for non-system and system drives are generated only when the values for both the free space megabytes and the free space percentage are below the configured thresholds.)

But what is the solution for this please let me know…

Thanks in Advance

That counter has nothing to do with disk space. It has to do with your processor. You can read about it here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc768048.aspx

Yes you need to involve the server team. Are you sure the right threshold was used though? 14% sounds too low according to the article.
