since last reading (which is around 10-20 seconds apart). > > bytes_in > > bytes_out > > pkts_in > > pkts_out > > Same question for "Number of bytes/packets..." metrics; since boottime or > last reading? since last reading > > mem_buffers > > mem_cached > > mem_shared > > swap_free > > proc_run > > proc_total > > disk_free > > Concerning these "Amount of/Number of..." metrics; is this an instantanuous > reading or an average since the last reading? It would seem silly for them > to be averages since boottime... that's right. the only metric which is measured since boottime is cpu_aidle ( CPU Absolute IDLE ) which is the % time since boot the CPU has been idle. i guess technically sys_clock is measured since boottime too. :) -matt
