Re: [ITM62] Internal CPU Utilization Situations

Also, a quick peek in the 6.3-level UX agent User's Guide shows that
"CPUBUSY" is "User CPU (Percent) + "System CPU (Percent)".  Looking in turn
at each of those(USERCPU/SYSCPU), it shows they are both derived from the
mpstat command output for the 'us' and 'sy' columns.  So it omits the IO
Wait CPU usage then (mpstat command's 'wt' column).  That should give you
enough to know whether it will suffice for purposes of proving out SLAs for
your customers.
