 Does anyone know how to get the info (and graphs hopefully) on CPU
utilization for unix machines? Currently, we see CPU load which is
different, and I believe a true measure of how hard the box is working
but I have people who feel the need to also see cpu utilization....any
ideas?
How about enabling the vmstat module in the LARRD client ? That gives
you cpu utilization split into system-time, user-time and idle-time as
percentages. Just tell them that the green part is unused, and the
red/yellow parts are when it is busy.

We use the bb-sar extension from www.deadcat.net on many of our hosts. 
I haven't tried to get it working with Hobbit yet, but it does CPU 
utilization in percentages.
