<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> By interval I mean the time span that is used for the calculations in the cpu stats in the third line of TOP. The first display is calculated across the time since boot. The second 'interval' is the
time calculated for those same cpu stats since the last iteration of the TOP display which is...well... it looks like 1 or 2 seconds. Thus that is what I mean by ‘interval’. Interval is whatever is the measured period of time over which any given TOP display’s
cpu statistics are calculated. Xymon shows the first display of TOP which looks like the first screen shot below. Then from the same server virtually a few seconds later, I captured a second display of TOP. Notice the cpu statistics are very different even
though the REAL condition of the server hadn’t changed at all. I would like to change xymon to display that second iteration of the TOP command.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">> I am pretty new to the Linux world. Getting to the point quickly; xymon apparently uses the top display for the CPU display. When I see a CPU alert from xymon I’d like to see the current time interval’s
CPU stats (The third line of top display - %us, %sy, %ni, etc) rather than the averages of those stats since the last reboot of the machine. This is an old ‘complaint’ in bugzilla which was closed in 2007 as ‘not a bug’. I couldn’t find any work-arounds or
customizing tips out there to change the display in xymon. What changes can a person make to see the current time interval (any top display other than the first one) statistics for the cpu display in xymon? What about changes in the monitored OS? Any suggestions
are appreciated! Thanks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
