In the multicpu.conf file there is a note that says that additional metric definitions should be added to the .conf file for each discovered cpu on the system. You can get all of the cpu definitions for a system by running gmond with a -m parameter. The output of gmond -m will be a list of all of the discovered metrics. Each metric that begins with "multicpu_" will need to be defined as a metric in the multicpu.conf file. Then start gmond normally and it should start monitoring all of the cpu metrics for each discovered cpu. NOTE: the next question is usually, if gmond -m can discover the metrics, why do we have to specifically define them as well in the .conf file? The answer to this question has to do with how metrics are enabled through gmond rather than just discovered. There have been previous list discussions about this topic.
