Comment 3 for bug 1417949

@Antonio,

i'll agree with you that cpu meter is wrong as a cumulative value... in the context of libvirt. but as this is also a meter provided by hyper-v, xenapi, vsphere, i don't believe we can simply rename it.

the ideal solution would be to have the time to be captured by libvirt as it knows exactly when an instance is rebooted/shutdown. that said, i'm not sure if that is in libvirt's roadmap so i'm not against creating a new delta metric which captures what you want. this is actually achieveable via transformers.
