Solution

  • Its seems you are trying to know about azure CPU calculation metrics. Please have a look.

    CPU Time: The amount of CPU consumed by each app in seconds, because one of their quotas is defined in CPU minutes used by the app. Its calculated over one application uses.

    CPU percentage: CPU percentage is a good indication of the overall usage across all instances. Let's say, you have 5 application these metrics calculated all of your application uses in average.

    Why CPU time avg is large than CPU time?

    I think in your screen shot given metrics is alright where your total CPU time is 18.05 that mean all if your apps consume this amount and each application consume on average 2.10
