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

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.

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.

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.

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.
