Yes, I am available and willing to test.
I've already made some minor edits to Mr. Perzl's AIX code and recompiled on
AIX to work around a divide-by-zero bug that causes insanely large negative
values for cpu_wait and cpu_idle when cpu_user + cpu_sys = 100%.
It looks like the original code was borrowed from an IBM example for
libperfstat, and it appears that Mr. Perzl noticed the potential
divide-by-zero error and tried to accommodate for it. Still, these insanely
large negative for cpu_wait and cpu_idle would appear when the server was
completely CPU bound.
This was a crash course in C for me, so I was not able to figure out the
cause. In the end, the work around was simple check for a negative value
and assign 0 instead if it existed.
(I don't mean to belittle Mr. Perzl's work here; I am very grateful for his
efforts in bringing Ganglia to AIX, and I'm happy to assist in any way I can
toward its improvement.)
g_val_t
cpu_wio_func( void )
{
g_val_t val;
get_cpuinfo();
val.f = cpu_info.wait;
if(val.f < 0) val.f = 0.0;
return( val );
}
g_val_t
cpu_idle_func( void )
{
g_val_t val;
get_cpuinfo();
val.f = cpu_info.idle;
if(val.f < 0) val.f = 0.0;
return( val );
}

Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business. Most IT
organizations don't have a clear picture of how application performance
affects their revenue. With AppDynamics, you get 100% visibility into your
Java,.NET, & PHP application. Start your 15-day FREE TRIAL of AppDynamics Pro!
