Looks like I did not answer this one.

The Linux metrics you need are:

        proc.psinfo.utime and proc.psinfo.stime

both are counters in units of msec ... PCP tools like pmval,
pmie or pcpmon will rate convert this to produce a number in
the range 0 to 1 representing the CPU utilization for user time
and system time for each (or selected) processes.
