[Xen-API] Strange CPU utilization values of Dom0

[kushal waikar <kushalwaikar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
    I am trying to fetch CPU utilization of Dom0 using XenAPI & Python...I am not getting any error in my code...But Whatever CPU utilization I am getting from my Dom0 is having value less than one... But actual CPU utilization seen under Virtual Machine Manager is in range of 1 to 100...It never exceeds 100 since it is percentage... If I multiply the values getting here by 100 then sometimes my CPU utilization is exceeding above 100, which is impossible practically (remember it is %age thts it should be <=100)...

 My questions are-->

1. What kind of manipulation should be carried out on the vales obtained  through  my code to get the correct CPU utilization of Dom0....? 

2. Any other way to get correct values ?
 
CODE AND ITS OUTPUT IS GIVEN BELOW-->

Test4.py-->
"
from xen.xm.XenAPI import Session
import time
session = None
#_________________________________________________________________________________
def print_cpu_utilization_Dom0():
    cpus = session.xenapi.host_cpu.get_all()
           for i in range(1,100):
             for cpu in cpus:
            load = session.xenapi.host_cpu.get_utilisation(cpu)
            print "HOST CPU USAGE :%s"% str(load)
        time.sleep(1)
