Any help would be appreciated. > > regards, > > Thilanka If i'm not mistaken, these values represent jiffies (1/100th seconds): rsUserProcessTime: time spent in user mode rsNiceModeTime: time spent in nice mode rsSystemProcessTime: time spent in system (kernel) mode rsIdleModeTime: time spent in idle state So if you add all the values, it should result in your machines uptime in 1/100th seconds. You will be mainly interested in the sum of User, Nice and System time. It should be okay if you enter these using a COUNTER DST. rrdtool will then calculate the difference between two steps and divide the result by the time-difference, which will then actually yield percent-values.
