perf_counter[\Process(_Total)\% Processor Time] Configuration

[Buxton69]

I am trying to use the performance counter perf_counter[\Process(_Total)\% Processor Time] but the figure it is returning is a constant 100, when I look at the server it is usually around the 177 make but very variable, here is a screenshot of the configuration attached.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

? IMHO a %-value can't get over 100% ?

check what

typeperf -sc 1 "\Process(_Total)\% Processor Time" 

is returning on the server.

I checked before and it's coming in at 799.969, I thought that % couldn't return more than 100 but on every server it is. Just tried it on another server and it is 199. Just worked out what it is, I've got 8 CPUs on the first server and 2 on the second, it's adding the totals up, is there any way to get this shown in Zabbix without seperating all the processors up and not using (_Total)?

ah indeed, it should be "ProcessOR" and not "Process". this is certanly where the over 100% comes.

Thank you, I actually had both but have now removed the process one.
