[Feature Request] Procstat cpu in percent

[melck]

I want to collect all processes with their state and cpu usage in percent. Actually procstat_cpu give time spent.

Could you add procstat_cpu_usage* metrics to easier exploit data ?

Is there a way to list all processes without define pattern ?

[sparrc]

shouldn't be too hard, it will probably work similar to the current cpu plugin implementation

[melck]

Yes it's like cpu plugin and to list all processes without pattern ?

[sparrc]

@melck this plugin really isn't optimized for getting stats for all processes, what is your use-case? are you looking for the "top" consuming processes?

[melck]

@sparrc Yes, I don't want all processes, I just want to have "top X" consumming processes.

I want to watch some processes to compare when we have extra consumption cpu or memory

[sparrc]

There's been a request for that before, and I think using ps or top would be better. The procstat plugin takes quite a bit of time to query each process it monitors, so I don't think it's good for monitoring all processes. (try setting it up with pattern = "i" and you'll see what I mean)
