Actually, you are already looking at a percentage. The reason you might think the sum is not always 100% is because the color of "Idle" is white. In fact, it's not always a percentage, depending on the system architecture, but definitely always a multiple thereof. In linux, a "jiffy"¹ often corresponds to 1/100th of a second, so you're actually looking at the graph measuring the number of 1/100th of seconds passed every second, which is obviously always equal to 100 :-) -- ¹ Quoting Wikipedia, "a jiffy is the duration of one tick of the system timer interrupt". _______________________________________________ collectd mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd
