The check_mk windows agent poll the performance counter on
(external) request. So every time you query the agent (e.g. via tcp)
the counter will be the current counter state and the server compares
this counter with the saved one (the server get in the last poll). So
if you would poll the counters every 30s, the check_mk request have to
run every 30s.
The CPU Utilization will be the average utilization between the last
polls of the check_mk_agent.

While watching the performance monitoring tool poll at 10 second
intervals I noticed it was constantly hitting extreme highs and lows
every other poll. Many of the highs were 100%. I wonder if the
check_mk windows agent polling only every minute happens to just be
hitting those high points at times making it seem like it is falsely
reporting. Again, I'd like to test this out but I am not sure how to
make the check_mk windows agent poll the performance counter more
than once per minute. Anyone?
