IJ23105: LINUX PROCESS INSTANT BUSY CPU (PERCENT) IS NORMALIZED ACROSS THE NUMBER OF CPUS.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Service Pack 5 (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0005)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When the Linux OS Agent calculates the Process Instant Busy CPU
  (Percent) attribute, it normalizes the result across the number
  of CPUs on the system. This APAR will allow the ability to
  indicate the value should not normalized across the number of
  CPUs.
  
  Environment: Across versions
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Linux Process Instant Busy CPU (Percent) is normalized across
  the number of CPUs.
  
  
  When the Linux OS Agent calculates the Process Instant Busy CPU
  (Percent) attribute, it normalizes the result across the number
  of CPUs on the system.  This APAR will allow the ability to
  indicate the value should not be normalized across the number of
  online CPUs.
  
  In order for this fix to be used, a new environment variable
  needs to be set.   See the Install Actions section of the
  Problem Conclusion for more information.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been updated to allow an environment variable to be
   specified indicating the Busy CPU (Percent) should be
  calculated by not normalizing across the number of online CPUs.
  
  Install Actions:
  ----------------
  A new environment variable, KLZ_PROC_INSTANT_BUSY_CPU_NORMALIZE,
  has been added and when set to FALSE will not normalize the
  Process Instant Busy CPU (Percent) across the number of CPUs.
  
  If the environment variable is not set or not set to FALSE, the
  calculation will continue to normalize the value across the
  number of CPUs.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  packages:
