Percent cpu time

[wolflikes]

Does anyone know how to get zabbix to show % cpu time same as windows does? I'm using 1.4.2 server and 1.4.2 agent.

I hope I haven't missed the info somewhere. If I have, could someone please point me to a link.

Thanks All

system.cpu.util[all,idle,avg1]

That will show you idle time so % used is 100%-idle % = used %. There are other things you can do but to get a true equivalent to the % used in windows task manager you need to monitor idle in *nix and subtract from the total (100%). Unfortunately ZABBIX doesn't allow for math in items so you need to look at it backwards when looking at the data and graphs - you want a higher number not a lower number.

hello,
i use the /proc/stat file, with some operation the result of CPU used is in %.

system.run[head -1 /proc/stat | awk {' print (100-($5*100)/($2+$3+$4+$5)) '}]

hope it help

Windows Active Agent?

This doesn't work on Windows Active Agents. Any other suggestions?
