In xymon we can see the graph :
<CPU Utilization graph>
Could You tell me how to get the values of the “% CPU Busy” listed on
the bottom ? I have tried a lot of things but it doesn’t work
The "CPU Utilization" graph with "CPU busy" is defined in graphs.cfg in the
[la1] section. This shows that the data source is "cpu_idl" in the
vmstat.rrd file. Note that the graph definition subtracts this "cpu_idl"
(idle percentage) number from 100 to get the busy percentage.
You can get the last few entries of cpu_idl by running:
rrdtool fetch /path/to/vmstat.rrd AVERAGE | tail
The contents of the RRD file come from the [vmstat] section of the client
data messages. This is typically taken from the output of "vmstat" from
the idle column (normally abbreviated "id"). To get the average idle
percentage over 5 minutes, Xymon runs "vmstat 300 2". If you want to get
the idle percentage without waiting 5 minutes, you can type "vmstat 5" and
it will repeatedly give 5-second averages forever. Note that the first
line in the vmstat output is the average of the metrics since last boot.
