Why is the kernel.all.uptime metric provided in hour units rather than
minutes or seconds? I'm looking into converting "top" to use PCP. Top
displays uptime in days, hours and minutes, but I can't get an accurate
minute count out of PCP. Can kernel.all.uptime be changed to minute units
or do I need to add another uptime metric for that?
It seems that, as a general rule, metrics should be provided at the smallest
reasonable units, then let the client programs convert to larger units if
desired. Is there a general rule like this that PCP developers follow?
Regards,
Mike
