system.cpu.util[,wait]

[smiley76]

Hi,

is there any special reason why I/O-wait can't be monitored by the agent in Linux?

system.cpu.util[,wait,avg1] seems only to be accessible in Solaris and HP-UX according to the manual but since 2.6 it's possible to see this counter in Linux also: (wa)

Cpu(s): 0.8%us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 97.6%id, 1.3%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st

but the agent says:

# zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -k system.cpu.util[,wait,avg1]
ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED

Hi,

This feature has been already asked to be added for the agent:
see http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/doku.php?id=contrib:ideas

A workaround at the moment is to use UserParameter.
