In reply to Ben. Maybe it looks better like this %Cpu0 : 50,1 us, 10,1 sy, %Cpu1 : 55,7 us, 7,2 sy, %Cpu2 : 35,6 us, 4,4 sy, %Cpu3 : 36,7 us, 5,8 sy, %CPU 2,2 1,2 0,6 0,4 0,2 0,2 0,2 0,2 0,2 0,2 0,2 0,2 0,2 0,2

Hi, thanks for the great article but I'm still looking for an answer for my case: It looks like that all the time. CPU load is around 45-50% all the time but if I add up the CPU usage of the services it never gets close... Why's that? Tasks: 251 total, 1 running, 250 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu0 : 50,1 us, 10,1 sy, 0,0 ni, 39,8 id, 0,0 wa, 0,0 hi, 0,0 si, 0,0 st %Cpu1 : 55,7 us, 7,2 sy, 0,0 ni, 36,8 id, 0,0 wa, 0,0 hi, 0,2 si, 0,0 st %Cpu2 : 35,6 us, 4,4 sy, 0,0 ni, 58,8 id, 0,0 wa, 0,0 hi, 1,2 si, 0,0 st %Cpu3 : 36,7 us, 5,8 sy, 0,0 ni, 56,9 id, 0,0 wa, 0,0 hi, 0,6 si, 0,0 st KiB Mem : 16242248 total, 12711832 free, 2071424 used, 1458992 buff/cache KiB Swap: 3809276 total, 3809276 free, 0 used. 13807884 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 9066 root 20 0 830468 35332 25632 S 2,2 0,2 2:19.18 metricbeat 5428 www-data 20 0 72168 27716 2520 S 1,2 0,2 3:28.49 kix.Daemon.pl 590 kopano 20 0 291488 41016 24640 S 0,6 0,3 1:27.52 kopano-search 581 kopano 20 0 355280 38644 18984 S 0,4 0,2 1:27.69 kopano-presence 7 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,2 0,0 0:31.24 rcu_sched 580 root 20 0 250116 4332 2508 S 0,2 0,0 0:01.37 rsyslogd 821 postgres 20 0 268376 6448 4688 S 0,2 0,0 0:00.07 postgres 1569 mysql 20 0 739704 114760 17024 S 0,2 0,7 0:38.78 mysqld 1802 root 20 0 392128 12028 6828 S 0,2 0,1 0:08.35 docker-containe 1875 root 20 0 3125288 23428 9428 S 0,2 0,1 0:40.27 slapd 2043 root 20 0 818760 70340 28176 S 0,2 0,4 0:37.41 named 2686 kdm 20 0 392288 59108 33904 S 0,2 0,4 0:29.23 kdm_greet 2871 root 20 0 4822492 437276 23464 S 0,2 2,7 2:01.74 java 9560 root 20 0 588668 69552 22952 S 0,2 0,4 0:40.12 packetbeat 10650 root 20 0 38144 3588 3012 R 0,2 0,0 0:04.37 top
