[mrtg] Re: FW: CPU Utilization on Win2000

[Sawyer, David]

This isn't a Windows or MRTG problem but a polling problem.

The PC will always have very high spikes as it's making full use of the CPU
when processes require it.

With this type of monitor you can tell if there is a rogue process running
that's hogging all the CPU, as the graph will display very high usage until
the process is stopped.

I'm monitoring CPU on my personal PC running W2K polling every 5 mins,
attached is the daily graph.

The problem here, is not MRTG. Every minut, W2K writes in OID, the
actual value of the CPU utilization. Eg: 12:55=4, 12:56=5, 12:57=4 etc.
This means, that MRTG (or any other program) doesn't have any
difference, or at least a very little difference. But it might be, that
from 12:55:25 to 12:55:45, the utillization was 100%. But, at 12:56 when
windows writes the value in the OID, it only writes 5. 

So, once again, this isn't a MRTG problem, but a Windows "problem". If
it's not approbiate at this list, then just say so. Personally, I just
don't think that this give me the actual average load on the server...
