gke container cpu throttling

[Akira76]

Hi, i would like to know if there is a metric to measure the cpu throttling of containers in google cloud metrics/dahsboard.

I've found the metric "container/cpu/limit_utilization" that doesn't match with throttling, that i measure with Dynatrace. What does this metric measure?

Hi Akira76,

Checking the throttling rate of your pods

Just login to the pod and run cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/cpu.stat.

• nr_periods — Total schedule period
• nr_throttled — Total throttled period out of nr_periods
• throttled_time — Total throttled time in ns

You can check this documentation for reference.

Thanks a lot for your reply and for the documentation.
What about the metric  "container/cpu/limit_utilization"  of GKE? , what does this metric measure?
