[mrtg] Win2K : CPU Load using pfdual.

Hello to all,

I am trying to monitor the CPU load of my Windows 2000 Prof. SP2 box,
powered by 
one Intel Pentium III 500Mhz chip.
Looking at the faq, I found a tool called pfdual.
I downloaded the binary and, launched from a cmd prompt, CPU Utilization
matches with the one I see in the NT Task Manager.

I am now trying to use the pfdual tool with MRTG to generate graph (not with
RRDTOOL)
The captured CPU Utilization is always round 0%

Here is my host.cfg entry :
 
Target[host_CPU]: `bin/pfdual.exe` & `bin/pfdual.exe`  
MaxBytes[host_CPU]: 100
AbsMax[host_CPU]: 100
Options[host_CPU]: unknaszero
ShortLegend[host_CPU]: % CPU
YLegend[host_CPU]: % Utilization
LegendO[host_CPU]: CPU#2 Load:
LegendI[host_CPU]: CPU#1 Load:
Title[host_CPU]: Intel Pentium III 500Mhz Analysis
PageTop[host_CPU]: <H1>Intel Pentium III 500Mhz Analysis</H1>

The top of the host_CPU.log file looks like as follow :

998917203 0 0
998917203 0 0 0 0
998916903 0 0 0 0
998916900 0 0 0 0
998916600 0 0 0 0
998916300 0 0 0 0
998916000 0 0 0 0
998915700 0 0 0 0
998915400 0 0 0 0
998915100 0 0 0 0
998914800 0 0 0 0
998914500 0 0 0 0
998914200 0 0 0 0
998913900 0 0 0 0
998913600 0 0 6 0
998913300 5 0 6 0
998913000 0 0 3 0
998912700 0 0 3 0
998912400 0 0 0 0
998912100 0 0 0 0

Something wrong ?
Any other clue to monitor a CPU Load and not using the performance Manager
to collect the infos ?

Thanks a lot in advance,
