cpu usage graphs

[jlim0930]

is there a way to use %'s instead of ticks for the cpu usage graphs ?

if so how would you do it ?

Thanks

Yes you can , although not really that accurate.

This is what I did for the CPU usage of my SuSE 10 server

1.) first created data templates for CPU ticks of
a.) Usage by User
b.) Usage by Nice
c.) Usage by System
d.) Idle Usage

Set all to counter then change max value to 6250000

2.) Created CDEF that would compute for the CPU usage in percent

given: a =User , b = Nice c = System and d = Idle

formula would be

%CPU usage = [(a+b+c) / (a+b+c+d)] * 100

CDEF = a,b,c,+,+,a,b,c,d,+,+,+,/,100,*

3.) Created a Graph Template then used the CDEF above

Done I have the CPU usage in %

i have my solaris graphs that states that its being graphs in ticks but it is more like percents. 100 max when you include the idle. this is much more helpful than looking at linux graphs which is very different..

i just wish that there was a way to graph it in the same manner
