[Bigsister-devel] question about etc/testdef/CPUperf.cfg

[Craig C. <cr...@bl...>]

what causes that cfg to be loaded?

I have a uxmon config that declarse the "cpuload" test on localhost. So I
was expecting up/down monitoring for the cpu load. But I got a down alarm
about the cpu "only 4% idle!" which I can only track down as being an alert
text within CPUperf.cfg.

More importantly, the output from the top command included with the alarm
message shows the cpu was 99.8% idle when the alarm was raised. And the top
output shows it was 98.6% (yes, actually less idle) when the alarm was
cleared. So I was trying to figure out what mis-parsed the output from
top...

The details included with the alarm (the down) are:
