Hi Eric, Yeah, it through me for a while. I ended up using a Windoze SNMP graphing tool and took the three components:
computerSystemUserCPU computerSystemSysCPU computerSystemIdleCPU computerSystemNiceCPU And noticed that as User/Sys & Nice increased, Idle decreased. Whipped out the calculator and they pretty much always add up to 100, as long as you subtract the previous measurement and divide by the time difference... Anyone else know what I should be doing here? Maybe I'll just take out the 100- and see what happens...
