The group discussed the discrepancies between the CPU percentage on a single host and the "Host CPU Usage" column for all VMs on that host.

It was mentioned that the console is not effective for comparing data due to potential performance issues. The behavior of the host CPU reaching 100% and the VMs not going higher was deemed expected.

The monitoring intervals for the agent and API may also result in different reported numbers.
