+
+cpu - Plugin to measure cpu on osx.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+This plugin runs the top command once per interval, to discover the current value of CPU usage on OSX.
+The result is scaled to # of CPU's, so a 4 core machine will reach 400% utilization (unless $scaleto100 is set to "yes", in which case the maximum will be 100%).
+
+Contributions are welcome to convert the plugin to use a long running counter such as /proc/stat in Linux.
