how does linux-CPU probe calculate CPU count?Issue how does linux-CPU probe calculate CPU count, as some servers seem to be reporting wrong CPU count?ReleaseAll releasesCauseLinux uses command cat /proc/cpuinfo to fetch the information in regards to the CPUs. Here is the raw output of cat /proc/info that calculates the CPU count based on physical ID. You can see there are 4 Processors but they point to the same physical ID which is " physical id : 0" A sample raw output looks like this vendor_id : GenuineIntelcpu family : 6model : 62model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8890 v2 @ 2.80GHzstepping : 7microcode : 0x715cpu MHz : 2793.269cache size : 38400 KBphysical id : 0 processor : 1vendor_id : GenuineIntelcpu family : 6model : 62model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8890 v2 @ 2.80GHzstepping : 7microcode : 0x715cpu MHz : 2793.269cache size : 38400 KBphysical id : 0 processor : 2vendor_id : GenuineIntelcpu family : 6model : 62model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8890 v2 @ 2.80GHzstepping : 7microcode : 0x715cpu MHz : 2793.269cache size : 38400 KBphysical id : 0 We calculate CPU's based on the Physical id, you can see here from the output that all processors have physical id as 0. This is counted as 1 CPU as they are all associated with the same physical id. If there is processors with different physical id like 0 and 1, it will be counted as 2 CPU's. ResolutionWe need to explain how the CPU count is populated to the customer and check it with their Linux system admin to validate the data
