288 <p>The <code>eventLoopUtilization()</code> method returns an object that contains the
289 cumulative duration of time the event loop has been both idle and active as a
290 high resolution milliseconds timer. The <code>utilization</code> value is the calculated
291 Event Loop Utilization (ELU).</p>
292 <p>If bootstrapping has not yet finished on the main thread the properties have
293 the value of <code>0</code>. The ELU is immediately available on <a href="worker_threads.html#worker_threads_worker_threads">Worker threads</a> since
294 bootstrap happens within the event loop.</p>
295 <p>Both <code>utilization1</code> and <code>utilization2</code> are optional parameters.</p>
296 <p>If <code>utilization1</code> is passed, then the delta between the current call's <code>active</code>
297 and <code>idle</code> times, as well as the corresponding <code>utilization</code> value are
298 calculated and returned (similar to <a href="process.html#process_process_hrtime_time"><code>process.hrtime()</code></a>).</p>
299 <p>If <code>utilization1</code> and <code>utilization2</code> are both passed, then the delta is
300 calculated between the two arguments. This is a convenience option because,
301 unlike <a href="process.html#process_process_hrtime_time"><code>process.hrtime()</code></a>, calculating the ELU is more complex than a
302 single subtraction.</p>
303 <p>ELU is similar to CPU utilization, except that it only measures event loop
304 statistics and not CPU usage. It represents the percentage of time the event
305 loop has spent outside the event loop's event provider (e.g. <code>epoll_wait</code>).
306 No other CPU idle time is taken into consideration. The following is an example
307 of how a mostly idle process will have a high ELU.</p>

317 <p>Although the CPU is mostly idle while running this script, the value of
318 <code>utilization</code> is <code>1</code>. This is because the call to
319 <a href="child_process.html#child_process_child_process_spawnsync_command_args_options"><code>child_process.spawnSync()</code></a> blocks the event loop from proceeding.</p>
320 <p>Passing in a user-defined object instead of the result of a previous call to
321 <code>eventLoopUtilization()</code> will lead to undefined behavior. The return values
322 are not guaranteed to reflect any correct state of the event loop.</p>
