I had the same desire for my UNIX clients as well so here is the fix that I found as well as the problems it caused...
Edit hobbitserver.cfg (in server/etc/) and go down to the TEST2RRD section and change cpu=la to be cpu=vmstat
Now in your cpu column you will get the cpu% graph that you see in the trends column...
Caveat: The load and time offset graphs stop graphing... (but alerts will still be sent out based on load NOT cpu% even with the graphs not working). I don't know why (maybe Henrik or another guru will be able to give us a clue on that one)

All my Windows clients (using BBNT.exe) and my netapp filer are report CPU in percentage, eg.
filer: Thu Aug 31 11:22:19 BST 2006 - up: 60 days, 23:18 CPU Usage= 12% windows server: Thu Aug 31 11:24:41 GDT 2006 [xxxxxxxx] up: 21 days, 1 users, 52 procs, load=87%, PhysicalMem: 2048MB(56%)
However, on the CPU column the graph being used is for load average. It graphs correctly so for the example above the graph would plot at 0.87 load (max being 1.0).
My question is how to specify that I want certain hosts be have their CPU graphed as a percentage rather than load average? Does hobbit have a % graph already in hobbitgraph.cfg (maybe la1)??
Thanks,
Quentin
