Here it was my solution:

# get the correct number of real CPUs (two quad-core processors)
CPU_NUM=`cat /proc/cpuinfo  | grep cores | uniq | awk '{ print $4*2 }'`

# Retrieve the number of real CPUs on Ganglia
/opt/ganglia/bin/gmetric -t uint32 -s zero -n 'cpu_num' -v $CPU_NUM -u
'CPUs'

Thanks a lot!
