Template:FAQ:Agent 36
Sorry - the CPU statistics (both original percentages, and the newer raw statistics) both refer to the system as a whole. There is currently no way to access individual statistics for a particular processor (except on Solaris systems - see below).
Note that although the Host Resources table includes a hrProcessorTable,
the current implementation suffers from two major flaws. Firstly, it
doesn't currently recognise the presence of multiple processors, and
simply assumes that all systems have precisely one CPU. Secondly, it
doesn't calculate the hrProcessorLoad value correctly, and either returns
a dummy value (based on the load average) or nothing at all.
As of net-snmp version 5.1, the Solaris operating system delivers some information about multiple CPU's such as speed and type.
Other than that, to monitor a multi-processor system, you're currently out of luck. We hope to address this in a future release of the agent. But you've got the source, so you can always have a go yourself :-)
