Reporting logs: comma in the wrong place (or do we need comma at all)

Hi,

I've noticed that commas are placed incorrectly, and I'm also seeing commas used in numbers where I wouldn't expect them.
Could someone please explain why this is happening and how I can correct it?

Are you referring to the comma after the date number, "December 11, 2025"? Are there other commas I am not seeing in the images?

That is one of the standard (i.e. common) date formats.

Hi,
It's not the date. The other numbers: First image:

user: 2,304  <------ 2,3 or 2304?
nice: 0
system: 1,59      <------ 1,59 or 159 ?
interrupt: 0
processes: 370,081      <------ What is this, 370 or 370,081 (three hundred seventy thousand and eighty-one)


Second image: System Information - Quality | WAN_DHCP  (ping)

Delay: 0,002      < ------ Belive this should be the ping in ms, so my ping to the gateway on the widget is 2.4ms and I was thing this number should also be 2.3 and not 0,002. The Quality should show you the real RTT to what every you are pinging from your gateway.

Looking at the screenshot I would assume I see a decimal point.  Looking at your post I see commas that add to the confusion.  RRD/system health uses averages so it's very likely decimal points as shown in the GUI.

Hi,

Sorry about that, I did use commas in my previous post, but I actually meant decimals.

user: 2.304  <------ 2.3 or 2304?
nice: 0
system: 1.59      <------ 1.59 or 159 ?
interrupt: 0
processes: 370.081      <------ What is this, 370 or 370.081 (three hundred seventy thousand and eighty-one)  <---- That seems like a lot of processes.

I was hoping I could found some health report of the RTT (ping gateway) like the widget in the dashbord of Gateway.
But the health report is showing "delay" 0.002 and this number doesn't mean anything to me :)
I was hoping it was showing the RTT/ping gateway in "ms" in my case 2.3 ms

Ah, the not-a-comma commas :-)

Oh, you're asking about the values? They're exactly as displayed ("." = decimal point), as in e.g. "top". The delay is likely in seconds, so your hope seems to have worked out.

Hi.

So, does a delay value of 0.002 represent 2 milliseconds or 2 seconds? I'm having difficulty understanding the logic behind this.
What I'm ultimately trying to achieve is to monitor my RTT (gateway ping) over time to see whether it changes.
My current RTT is around 2.3 ms, and it would be useful to have this displayed as a graph in the Reporting → Health section.
That's why I started this discussion, to better understand what these values represent and how to interpret the reported numbers.

In the first of your images you appear to be looking at CPU utilisation in which case you are looking at percentages. It depends what you choose. Information about the measure is given on the Y axis label.
