Hi,

I'm trying to save CPU metric to elastic with using Topbeat.

Is there any filed that match the "CPU % Utilization" from Task Manger (also same value as "% Processor Time" from Performance Monitor)?

What I have found out is that the "cpu.system\_p" is the same value as the "% Privileged Time" (from Windows Performance Monitor) and "cpu.user\_p" is the same value as "%User Time" (from Windows Performance Monitor).

cpu.system\_p + cpu.user\_p equals the CPU from the Task Manager. So I know how to get the total CPU usage, but shouldn't be a field for that already?

It seems to me that it would be nice to have a cpu.total and cpu.total\_p field (similar applies to Metricbeat). We have a total for processes.

@monica what do you think about this? Any reason we shouldn't have this field?
