CPU info
list Kevin Hanrahan
Hi all, 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? Thanks kevin

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. Henrik

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. John

Hello John, how did you got bb-sar running ? I tried it, but the sar-page of a host had only dead links. Do you hae a little howto or a tip ? Would be interested to get it running inside hobbit. If you want too, we could try it together. Uwe Kirbach

No I had the same issue when I first tried it. I have not fixed it yet. I did get the links to work but the graphs don't show up so it doesn't really help much. I hope to get a chance to look at it some this week. John
