[mrtg] Re: Values in the Tenths

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

If you're talking about single CPU servers, yes.  For multiple CPU
servers, 
you can safely multiply by the number of CPUs to get a valid concern. 
I 
have a few linux machines (4 processor) that run at a load of 3 all day
and 
are quite ok.

The cpu load number is not a "percent" value.
Constant values over 1.0 mean really high use.

How do you collect the data script or SNMP?
If by script don't round and multiply by 10,
your graph will be in 10ths of a percent then,
with a range of 1-1000.

If your CPU use is so low why do you care?

I'm trying to graph cpu "load" on Red Hat boxes.
MRTG wants to only graph whole numbers (0,1,2).
And most of our cpu load remains < 0 (eg- 0.2).

Is there a way to get MRTG to graph this data?
Or am I going to have to deal w/ whole numbers?

Thanks,
Scott Moseman
