Running 1.37.47 (latest commit) and I keep seeing the following error message in my logs:
from zmstats.pl

Where does it get the CpuSystemPercent from and why would it be an incorrect decimal value some of the time?

I noticed that bbunge is experiencing the same thing:
viewtopic.php?p=132218&hilit=incorrect+ ... ue#p132218

It runs: top -b -n 1 | grep "^%Cpu(s)" | awk '{print $2, $4}'
Sometimes we don't get a value. Not sure why.

Thanks. That makes sense.

if we don't get user_utilization, we probably don't get system_utilization. We should either set both to 0 if user_utilization is not returned properly or have two separate checks and set system_utilization to 0 if not returned properly.

Looks like sometimes the "%Cpu(s):" is not returned at the beginning, so the command ends up returning "us, sy," (what should be the 3rd and 5th fields):
