Hi all, haven't found any useful information on this topic neither in the docs nor in the list archive, though I am sure the answer has been given before...
How does SPECTRUM calculate the CPU load that is compared to the threshold given in a devices's "threshold and watches" configuration section in case there are more than one CPUs involved? I have done some testing and got a pretty confusing impression: SPECTRUM takes the highest load of all CPUs and takes this as a value to test against the threshold, the resulting event shows the name of the system's first CPU found in the RFC 2790 MIB and the load compared to the threshold (which is in fact not necessarity the displayed CPU's load). If this is the case, wouldn't it make much more sense, if anything nowadays with all the multithread applications spreading their load over several CPUs, to have a choice to let the overall CPU load be calculated as a sum of total percent and normalize it to a comparable value by dividing by 4?! Now: CPU0: 0% CPU1: 10% CPU2: 50% CPU3: 30% Threshold: 40% -> Alarm for 50% load on CPU0 (!) Wish: same as above, but Overall load: (0+10+50+30) / 4 = 22.5 % -> No Alarm, as 22.5% < 40% Am I confused? Or, worse,confusing?
