> Thermos landing (host) page reports incorrect CPU rates when it is busy

> Key: AURORA-1939
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1939
> Project: Aurora
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Reza Motamedi
> Assignee: Reza Motamedi
> Priority: Minor
>
> Thermos Observer uses `psutil` to monitor resource consumption of Thermos
> Processes. On a busy machine, I have noticed negative CPU values when
> visiting the Thermos landing page.
> In my test I reproduced this by starting many processes that constantly
> create short lived children. This indicates that in time between
> `process_collector_psutil` looks up the Process children and the time it
> calculates the CPU time the pid of the child is actually reused by another
> much younger process, which leads to negative CPU times.
