CPU Usage Incorrect in sys.dm_os_ring_buffers I'm running a cloud VPS with a SQL Server instance. Because it's for personal use, I'm using express edition (I can't use developer edition because I technically have production apps running on it and there's no way I could afford Standard+). 

I'm trying to get baseline captures going using Brent Ozar's tutorial using sp_BlitzFirst. The problem I'm running into is that ProcessUtilization in sys.dm_os_ring_buffers always comes out as 100, no matter what the actual CPU usage is at the time.

Microsoft says that DMV (ring buffers) doesn't work on SQL Server 2017, only 2019:


  Sys.dm_os_ring_buffers DMV has been a key DMV used for monitoring SQL
  Server by built-in tools as well as third party monitoring utilities.
  When SQL Server 2017 was released on Linux, unfortunately this DMV did
  not return correct CPU usage information by SQL Server process. SQL
  Server team is glad to announce that the starting with SQL Server 2019
  release candidate, the sys.dm_os_ring_buffers DMV returns SQL CPU
  utilization correctly.
