 Having a strange issue where snmp polling a vm for the ssCpuRawIdle stats (and all the other raw cpu stats) shows up as double:

snmpwalk -v 2c -c 'XXXX' nathanxen1 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.53 && sleep 60 && snmpwalk -v 2c -c 'XXXXXXX' nathanxen1 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.53

UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawIdle.0 = Counter32: 47631385
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawIdle.0 = Counter32: 47643353

(47643353 - 47631385) / 6000 * 100 = 199%

Except that this VM has a single cpu. Polling regular machines works fine with this logic and returns the expected numbers.



My guess is that it's kernel issue. Are you running newer pv_ops kernel? If yes, you should ask to xen-devel. I've checked RHEL's kernel-xen and newer xenlinux kernel, both return the correct values.
