ASL 5.006 Reporting CPU Load ...

In ASL 5[.006], CPU Load is reporting as processes not in % used. Processes doesn't seem very significative (with 2 to 6 processes cpu is about 85% used -cf vmstat-).

Is there a way to modify reporting graphs to show % ?

I've been wondering the same thing. Mine usually shows 2-3 processes. I'd really like to see what percentage (tota) of my CPU is being used. Running processes can already be displayed in other areas of webadmin.

login via ssh
then login as root
type the word top and press enter..there is your percentage3 usage updated every 2-3 seconds.

Using "top" or "vmstat" or any other shell command is not an answer.

My request was a trick to modify CPU graph display in webadmin, especially to be able to keep history of CPU load.

Why not use the current graphs, they show processes waiting for CPU time.

If you have processes waiting for CPU time then you possibly need a faster CPU if you have a fair few showing...

V4 showed CPU Utilization %

V5 shows CPU Load.

CPU Load shows the number of processes "blocked" on CPU.

both are valid..cpu % used is easier to read and quantify. I can have 2 processes waiting on my server when i am runnning v5 without issues in terms of performance. only when it gets to 4 or higher does it bother me. Running top is a better option because in realtime it shows cpu usage percentage and when it is low(for me under 60% things are fine. Only when it stays at 100% for extended tiem do i have cause tow orry. by watching cpu percentage in realtime i know when i may have issues sooner than by watching the cpu load graphs. I ahave also had 2 processes waiting but only cpu usage of 60%. Not a problem for me.
