When the value is really "dunno" or "not > applicable" or "undefined" then leaving it out seems more correct. I've changed my mind after hearing other people's thoughts on the matter. The correct fix should be in the frontend code. I'm already working on it for cpu_report and mem_report. However, it would be tricky for the load_* metrics. Hopefully we could reach a consensus on it soon and be able to report load metrics in hsflowd under Windows. I hope you didn't spend too much time on the patch for submitting zeros for missing metrics :) Thanks, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
