Hello everyone! So, i'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but there's a host that I'm monitoring and the only CPU related metrics that i can get from it is cpu seconds. So, my doubt is, if a process is using 2 CPU seconds, is it the same thing as saying it is consuming 2 CPUs or 50% of 4 CPUs? I've read about this already, but I'm still not sure about it...

I guess it is wrong place to ask..
Its the kubernetes question... Zabbix just picks up metrics what people think are useful and its up to those people to understand those...
I did some reading right now, but I am not going to pretend, that I understand it all... Seems that it depends on how much resources you have given to pods.. more resources mean your 2 seconds of usage comes faster...
following links enlightened me a little bit on the matter, maybe they help you aswell...

I'm not sure what metric this CPU seconds you're referring to is.
Is it CPU process time? A cloud server?
It would be helpful if you could provide more context to your question, as well as what version of Zabbix you are using and what system you are monitoring.Comment

Hey! I'm monitoring a Kubernetes Cluster. The metric is "CPU: Usage seconds, total". It's an item from the discovery rule "Pod Discovery" from the template "Kubernetes Kubelet by HTTP". It measures the amount(seconds?) of CPU used by the containers.Comment

I did some reading as well, and I think it is indeed, a nice metric to use... Thanks for your answer, you linked some really nice materials
