If the other tools are using their own functions to get the utilization, it could show much different values than the operating system provided features that Hobbit typically uses. The sampling interval will also make a big difference. It's best to compare apples to apples (as much as you can).

We have a couple other monitoring tools here

I’ve had questions about CPU Utilization, The charts
don’t seem to correlate with the other two monitoring
tools. As an example, The other tools show CPU
Utilization at 80% during a couple hours at night,
and Hobbit shows 26% Utilization.
Both the other Tools show 80% utilization during those
hours, but Hobbit doesn’t.
I looked into this once before, and I know it depends on
how the data sampling is being done.
Any ideas on this would be helpful.
Thanks…James
