Create an item for total cpu % usage on VMWare Guest Template

[FabrizioA]

Hi,

In my VMWare Guest Template, I need to create an item to calculate the "total vm cpu usage percentage" of VM side view.

I've tried with VMWare perfcounter (Simple check item type):

vmware.vm.perfcounter[{$URL},{HOST.HOST},"cpu/usage[average]"]

but I get a value greater then 100%....
How can I get one percentage value of VM CPU usage calculated from Total CPU (mhz?) Host's capacity?
I'm using Zabbix 2.2.10.

Thanks in advance!

i dont know vmware but maybe you typed wrong order on calculation
cpu/usage[average] maybe true one is usage[average]/cpu ?

I Use Use custom multiplier 0.01

i dont know vmware but maybe you typed wrong order on calculation
cpu/usage[average] maybe true one is usage[average]/cpu ?
