Hi there,

I don't know if this has been reported already or if this is a problem specific to my setup, so sorry if I missed out on something. If so, feel free to close this immediately ;)

As you can see, AMP shows 2% CPU usage for my Minecraft server, while the server reports 64% (the minecraft server is the only java-app that I use).

How does AMP get the info from the system? Is there anything I can change to get this right?

Greetings and thanks in advance,

Neo

How many CPU cores does the system have? There's a difference in how AMP and top report CPU usage so its probably the intended behaviour.

Hi Mike, the system (VPS) has 6 vCores.

Try turning off Multicore CPU usage calculation under the Monitoring settings.

This actually changed nothing, seems to display the same as before ;D

Any update on CPU calculation?

If I have "Multicore CPU usage calculation" Turned on , it never goes above 1% or 2% which is very very incorrect. And if I turn "Multicore CPU usage calculation" off it almost always shows 100% which is incorrect as well.

I have tuned all cores (affinity) on during creation of the Minecraft instance but this does not change a damn thing.

This software for me is useless if I cannot see how my CPU utilization is.

Please fix it!!!

I tried latest build 1.6.8.0 and now I am on nightly 1.7.0.0 but it does not change anything.

Is this running in a virtual machine or on real hardware? AMP actually just asks the OS for CPU/RAM usage information but that data isn't always correct in certain types of VM.

We're looking to changing to a different mechanism to get this info based on the Windows Performance Counters but we're not sure how that'll behave yet.
