Long-term CPU%

[OlafvdSpek]

Current CPU% is measured over the last 1s (I think), could a total CPU% be added, measured as total CPU time (TIME - Total time the process has spent in user and system time) divided by total wallclock time (now - STARTTIME - Time the process was started)

What metric are you looking for in particular?

• Global CPU% over 1m/5m/15m -> Load Average Meter
• Per-process CPU% over 1m/5m/15m -> needs explicit tracking from htop
• Percentage of User/System/IOwait time per process -> Is available, but confusingly named
• Percentage of User/System/IOwait over process lifetime -> needs explicit tracking from htop
• Something else?

Per-process CPU% over the life-time of the process, not needing explicit tracking from htop.
