Hi, Neil.

I'm graphing Linux CPU load with this config option and it displays as
0.0 to 100.0 on the graph. Try this one.

Target[desktop1]:
1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.50.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.50.0:public at desktop1 +
1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.52.0&.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.52.0:public at desktop1 +
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.51.0&.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.51.0:public at desktop1
MaxBytes[desktop1]: 100
Title[desktop1]: CPU LOAD
PageTop[desktop1]: <H1>Active CPU Load %</H1>
Unscaled[desktop1]: ymwd
ShortLegend[desktop1]: %
YLegend[desktop1]: CPU Utilization
Legend1[desktop1]: Active CPU in % (Load)
Legend2[desktop1]:
Legend3[desktop1]:
Legend4[desktop1]:
LegendI[desktop1]:  Active
LegendO[desktop1]:
Options[desktop1]: growright,nopercent

You may need to change the OID value for the specific CPU parameter you
have listed.

Max
