(yeah!) Unfortunately, we have some existing dependence on the Ganglia cpu_speed metric. This is not found in Telegraf.\r\n\r\n### Proposal:\r\n\r\nAdd a cpu_speed field or equivalent to the cpu or system measurement. This would be in MHz.\r\n\r\n### Use case: [Why is this important (helps with prioritizing requests)]\r\n\r\nThis helps mostly in the capacity management area, when mapping cpu mhz of an application group that is targeted for migration to new hosts. We can get the cpu speed other ways, of course, but having it directly and natively in Telegraf would be optimal.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/influxdata/telegraf/issues/comments/396250524","html_url":"https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/4256#issuecomment-396250524","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/influxdata/telegraf/issues/4256","id":396250524,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDM5NjI1MDUyNA==","user":{"login":"randallt","id":7264834,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjcyNjQ4MzQ=","avatar_url":"https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/7264834?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/randallt","html_url":"https://github.com/randallt","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/randallt/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/randallt/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/randallt/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/randallt/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/randallt/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/randallt/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/randallt/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/randallt/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/randallt/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-06-11T13:52:08Z","updated_at":"2018-06-11T13:52:08Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"I was looking for just the \"CPU MHz\" field from the linux command 'lspcu', which appears to be the same as the \"cpu MHz\" field of each CPU core from 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'. This doesn't change for me and matches the CPU description, like \"Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz\". I'm on a VMware infrastruture, though.\r\n\r\nI was not looking for instantaneous frequency or even max boost frequency, just the frequency corresponds to the CPU description--which when combined with the CPU count can help give some comparative sense of capacity among VMs and environments.\r\n"}}
