Why TA-throttle exists
Servers that feel slow are often silently throttled. TA-throttle records thermal, power and cgroup throttle reasons against actual frequency so "why is it slow" has a data-backed answer.
What it collects
- Thermal, power and cgroup throttle reasons
- Effective frequency vs boost ceiling over time
Runs on stock tools
No daemons, no agents, no exotic collectors - it shells out to well-known CLIs or reads sysfs, and parses the result into Splunk events.
