I have a quad core CPU running Centos5.
When I use top, I see that running processes use 245% instead of 100%. If I use gkrellm, I just see one core being used 100%.
This one is easy. 4 cpu's, 100% total each, a maximum of 400%.
Since one core is at 100%, the other 145% is spread across the other 3 cores.
Is there any reasonable way to figure out the available CPU capacity from an SNMP monitoring tool? (You want to know if the reported >100% usage is a problem but you don't know anything else about the machine).
