I haven't checked in a while, but the reason for this is actually
FreeBSD: On FreeBSD information about the CPU usage is read using
sysctlbyname (or sysctl, I'm not quite sure). Other BSDs (dunno which
ones, sorry) provide the {CTL_KERN, KERN_CPTIME2, <num>} MIB, which
returns the CPU counters for the specified CPU <num>. Unfortunately,
FreeBSD doesn't. It only offers the sysctlbyname interface with the
"kern.cp_time" key, which only returns consolidated numbers.
If you find out how to get the values, adding that to the CPU plugin is
probably not much work.
