/proc/stat values don't add up ! anyone ?
The cpu entries for /proc/stat are: User, User1, System, Idle (cumulative)
Therefore for a delta T, delta(User)+delta(User1)+delta(System)+delta(Idle) should have a constant value at delta T. But this is not the case - at times when system load changes, the sum can shoot up and down from "100%". Are the values recorded just not accurate enough at times of rapid change - or is there somewhere a set of more self-consistent data values ? No - I don't want to install another package :-) 2-nov-05 Oh well, it was worth asking, even if no-one knew the answer ... |
