title: Datadog: how to get redis cpu usage metrics?
body: <p>Taking a look at <a href="https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/redisdb/?tab=host" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Redis metrics for Datadog</a> , we can see that <code>redis.cpu.sys</code> refers to <em>System CPU consumed by the Redis server.</em> But this is metric for CPU usage time, not CPU usage.</p>
  <p>How do we do if we want to create alerts based on the actual CPU usage?</p>
