Re: [libvirt-users] virsh dominfo does not show correct cpuTime

You calculate is vCPU use time not utilization。 use_time/total_cpu_time is utilization。 total_cpu_time=`cat /proc/stat |sed -n '1p'|awk '{ print sum=$2+$3+$4+$5+$6+$7+$8+$9+$10}'` ------------------ 原始邮件 ------------------ *发件人:* "changqian zuo";<zuochangqian(a)gmail.com>; *发送时间:* 2015年7月24日(星期五) 中午1:51 *收件人:* "libvirt-users"<libvirt-users(a)redhat.com>; *主题:* [libvirt-users] virsh dominfo does not show correct cpuTime Hi, I am doing some domain resource monitoring work. I use cat /dev/urandom | md5sum to simulate vCPU load and write a script to calculate vCPU utilization. It seems all good at the beginning. After I abort the ``cat ... md5sum`` command in domain, I see some strange data as below: CPU time: 8410960000000 CPU util: 99.8410609331% CPU time: 8411970000000 CPU util: 100.843672381% CPU time: 8412380000000 CPU util: 40.9336949531% CPU time: 8412440000000 CPU util: 5.9899303915% *CPU time: 8412440000000* *CPU util: 0.0%* CPU time: 8412490000000 CPU util: 4.99165856007% *CPU time: 8412490000000* *CPU util: 0.0%* *CPU time: 8412490000000* *CPU util: 0.0%* CPU time: 8412570000000 CPU util: 7.987195515% *CPU time: 8412570000000* *CPU util: 0.0%* CPU time: 8412590000000 CPU util: 1.99668576091% CPU time: 8412670000000 CPU util: 7.98700539474% CPU time: 8412720000000 CPU util: 4.99167281754% CPU time: 8412780000000 CPU util: 5.98888552548% Looking at those 0.0% lines. Strange, though the guest is running, cpuTime does not increase. How can this happen? Any one helps? Thanks.
