Whats the best way to get the CPU idle time on xen? I just want to know
the idle time for the physical CPU. I'm getting differing results between
xenoprof and xentop (modified to add up all the domains). Is there
something I can trust?

Xenmon reports cpu idle time directly. Give it a try and see if it's
trustworthy.

I have found that xenoprof and xentop match. You have to convert the
samples to utilization. Xenoprof does not give util directly.
Formula:
[(global_power_event_samples)*sample after value]/sample time ==> will
give events/sec
Then divide this by the clock freq (cpu freq in cycles/sec) that will
give you the cpu util.
Global_power_events per sec / Cycles per sec = utilization
Hope this helps
Thanks
