Mapping CPU Utilization Properly

Hi all, I have managed to get LABEL {node:this:bandwidth_in}% with a gauge, however, the figures I am getting are not whole integers, e.g instead of 3% I get 3.231523154%. Does anyone know how I would go about fixing this issue?

Thank you in advance.

First of all, why *should* they be whole integers? It's an abstract number...

Anyway, to force weathermap to display it as an integer, you do: {node:this:bandwidth_in:%d}% instead - the %d means integer, or you could have %.2f for 2 decimal places of floating point.

Thanks a lot Howie, it is much appreciated. How is one to find this sort of information by themselves? I tried reading through the documentation and other threads but I couldn't see an explanation such as yours (above) anywhere.

The reason why I was wanting a whole integer is because it looks better than a massive number such as 3.231523154%

Last night I also found that %k works and gives the result to two decimal points, but I will replace the %k with %.2f as per your suggestion.

Thanks again.

ah ok, thanks for the info. I can't wait to see the updated documentation, I already find your application very useful so with more information on how to use it, it will only get better.
