I am trying to identify the process(s) which are consuming kernel resources on a system, using proc.psinfo.stime.


However, this counter seems to be counting down, rather than up

pmval -r -i 3008 proc.psinfo.stime

metric:    proc.psinfo.stime
host:      localhost
semantics: cumulative counter
units:     millisec
samples:   all

                 3008

Can someone explain this to me, please ?
