I use DFM and MRTG to monitor several of  filers. I've ran into issues with CPU stats for multi-processor systems. DFM and MRTG will report the "any value" versus the average value. I've had several discussions with Netapp tech support on this topic and there was never a clear direction on with metric to key off of. Tech support informed me that I should be looking at the CPU utilization with sysstat -m and key off of the AVG value.

rsh filer sysstat -m 1

 ANY  AVG  CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3

 77%  23%    2%  48%   1%  43%

 41%  13%    2%  28%   0%  22%
 49%  16%    2%  34%   0%  28%
 50%  16%    2%  34%   0%  28%
 43%  14%    2%  30%   0%  26%
 51%  17%    2%  34%   0%  32%

My metrics using DFM and MRTG captures the "any" value. According to Netapp it is not the metric that should be captured.  Is anyone else having these challenges and is their a fix in DFM to collect the correct metric on multi-proc systems?

Thanks
