Greetings All,
I am monitoring CPU utilization using /proc/stat/ on Linux 2.4.19.
Specifically, I am running:
Target[system.cpu]:`ssh -l mrtg system 'cat /proc/stat' | awk '/cpu0/
{printf("%s\n%s\n",$2,$5); }'`
The idea was taken from:
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/mrtg/
and I am just using ssh instead of snmp. The user CPU time appears higher
using this method than casual observation of `top`. I believe that watching
the raw CPU counters in /proc/stat/ should be more accurate than load average
or other `top` counters, but I am not certain.
Can anyone comment on this method and why it may differ from `top`?
Thanks in advance,
Grant
