Hi,

I am monitoring a cluster with Ganglia v3.0.7.  In it there are some
hosts with one processors (let's say 4) and some with 8 processors
(let's say 4).  When viewing the cluster page there are four graphs at
the top of the page: load, CPU, memory, and network.  These graphs
reflect the state of all hosts in the cluster.   I have noticed that
the CPU plot displays the percentage of CPU use per host, not per
processor.

If all eight hosts (36 processors) are busy, the load is 100%.  If
they are idle the CPU percentage is near 0%.  Both of these are
correct.  However, if the four single processor machines are 100%
utilized and the multiprocessor machines are idle the CPU plot reports
50% utilization.  The same is true if the 4 multiprocessor hosts are
busy and the uniprocessor hosts are idle.  These values are incorrect.

How can I scale the % CPU value by the number of processors?

Thanks,
Rich
