I expect that by an "agent" you refer to the RMFPMS tool that I've had
installed.
Well, in the mean time, I have shut down the RMFPMS service, and put the
HZ_TIMER to 0.
There is still a load of around 2% cpu time in performance monitor.

Does anyone have any other idea?

Using 2% is not too bad for an active agent. I have heard different
numbers from people who get a few active agents using Java. But 2%
obviously is bad for scalability, so you're limited to monitor the
systems where you expect a problem. ;-)

This is one reason why we do not use an active agent to measure the
Linux servers.

And you're right that capture ratio is essential. Just having 25% of
the usage accounted for is not very useful. We certainly aim much
higher than that. I hope your numbers look better when the system is
not idle.
