It probably depends on the underlying O/S, but in general - yes. In most cases, we're just reporting the raw figures from the kernel, so it really depends on how the kernel actually counts things. But you can just ignore whichever categories a particular agent does not implement, as this typically means that the kernel does not support the corresponding categories either. The total time will usually be divided between the categories that *are* implemented. > I also wanted to know what these raw counters signify (time ticks > or what else ??? ) Unspecified. Whatever the underlying kernel counts in. > and why is it different in diff versions. Because different kernels could (at least in principle) report CPU usage figures in different units. It would probably have been sensible to explicitly specify exactly what units were required for the various MIB objects, but it's too late now. That'll have to wait for a replacement MIB.
