Hi,

My boss wants the cpu-utilization graph to reflect the statistics on a per cpu basis. Investigating, I see that sar can do this, while reporting similar data to vmstat (i.e. User, System Idle, average etc...) with the addition of a cpu number. Output:

stlqrma:root:/> sar -P ALL 1 2

AIX stlqrma 3 5 00CB5A2F4C00 12/05/05

System configuration: lcpu=16

15:31:05 cpu %usr %sys %wio %idle physc 15:31:06 0 35 5 0 60 0.75 1 0 0 0 100 0.25 2 36 5 0 59 0.75 3 0 0 0 100 0.25 <snip> 15:31:07 0 36 7 0 57 0.77 1 0 0 0 100 0.24 2 41 5 0 55 0.77 3 0 0 0 100 0.23 <snip> Average 0 36 6 0 59 0.76 1 0 0 0 100 0.24 2 39 5 0 57 0.76 3 0 0 0 100 0.24 <snip>

What is the easiest way to change the cpu utilization graph in hobbit to take advantage of this? One small obstacle I see is that the sar output is *slightly* different on say, linux and aix:

sar -P ALL 1 1

Linux 2.6.9-5.ELsmp (rp-ladmin) 12/05/2005

02:34:00 PM CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %idle 02:34:01 PM all 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00 02:34:01 PM 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00 02:34:01 PM 1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00

Same data, with the exception of adding "ALL" and spelling out user/system etc..

It's one of those things that's either more complicated than it looks, or easier than I think :-)

Thanks, Jeff
