RE: How do I get percentage CPU utilization using ssCpuRawIdle?

Well it's a basic change over time thing.

y - x / t

The problem with doing it yourself is you need to store the last value and the time when it was read, and then do the math... if you're planning to graph that data, then you have to go a step further, and store all the figures

Thanks Lee....But am not using any third party tool to plot graph....We are using adobe flex for report module(plotting graph). So, those manipulations I have to do manually.It will be better for me If I get any idea on calculating those ticks & all...

Thanks

If you're putting it into an RRD or something like that, then use a DERIVE or COUNTER data type.  That'll do it all for you.



If it's the figures I think it is, then it's basically the number of seconds (or fractions thereof) spent in each state since the system started up.



I've just used RRD counters to get these graphs... no special manipulation of figures in the data gathering... the percentages are just calculated in the rrdgraph command...rrdtool takes care of working out the difference between the two figures based on the interval since the last set of data.

Hello folks,

Am bit confused to calculate the percentage of ssCpuRawIdle or ssCpuRawNice or ssCpuRawSystem or ssCpuRawUser of host.

I think ssCpuIdle will give exact percentage value which top command shows..but when we see the mib, it is deprecated one. So, We should start of using "raw counters". I came to know from net-snmp forums, need to take two readings of this object, and find the difference between them. That difference divided by the total number of 'ticks' between the two readings (probably 0.01 seconds) will give you the percentage utilization.

And this is the forum where our Dave has replied as above...

http://osdir.com/ml/network.net-snmp.user/2004-02/msg00369.html

Where I have freezed is to calculate the total number of ticks...How should I calculate the total no of ticks?..or will it be always  0.01 seconds for all OS?...

Thanks in Advance....

Malar
