Hello,
I´m checking the performance of one RHEL running a java process and I use
the sar command and the top command to see the cpu usage and I get some
differences that I don´t understand.
First I´ll tell you how I check it:
for the sar command I run this:
sadc -F -L 1 1000 /home/user/log/output
for top I run this:
top -b -d 1 -n 1000 -p $PID
PID is the PID of my java process.
Well, when I run this I get this results:
PM CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %idle
07:09:09 PM all 35.75 0.00 7.25 0.00

19:09:20 26314 user 16 0 817m 398m 36m S 51.9 10.6 0:54.20 java
with sar I never reach the 99,9% of CPU but with top I see this amount of
CPU in several times.
So, which is the true value of CPU usage? and why this differences?
thanks in advance
