I was playing a bit with the API, but I dont understand the response. I would like to build a graph similar to the one seen in the control panel, but i don see the same values returned from the api.
The API responds with different metrics: idle, iowait, irq, nice, softirq, steal, system, user. For each of this metrics, there an array containing a timestamp and a value. But for example, in my graph for the past hour values are between 0 and 1%, with a small spike to 3%. This are the values I got from the API:
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"resultType": "matrix",
"result": [{
"metric": {
"host_id": "myhost",

I have the same question, the Monitoring CPU API is very unclear at this moment.
