How is the total CPU usage calculated for a Linux server monitor?
CPU Utilization is calculated using the 'top' command.
CPU Utilization = 100 - idle time
Eg:
idle value = 93.1
CPU Utilization = ( 100 - 93.1 ) = 6.9%
If the server is an AWS instance, CPU usage is calculated using the formula:
CPU Utilization = 100 - idle_time - steal_time
