Convert the output of os.cpus() in Node.js to percentage

Question

Is there a way to convert the os.cpus() info to percentage? Just like the output of iostat (on the CPU section).

My code:

var os = require(\'os\');
c

This is my Solution

Interval is in Seconds.

10 will calculate load over the last 10 seconds!

var _  = require("underscore");
var os = require("os"); 
var interval = 1;
var old = _.map(os.cpus(),function(cpu){ return cpu.times;})

setInterval(function() {
    var result = [];
    var current = _.map(os.cpus(),function(cpu){ return cpu.times; })
    _.each(current, function(item,cpuKey){
        result[cpuKey]={}

        var oldVal = old[cpuKey];
        _.each(_.keys(item),function(timeKey){
            var diff = (  parseFloat((item[timeKey]) - parseFloat(oldVal[timeKey])) / parseFloat((interval*100)));
            var name = timeKey;
            if(timeKey == "idle"){
                name = "CPU"        
                diff = 100 - diff;
            }
            //console.log(timeKey + ":\t" + oldVal[timeKey] + "\t\t" + item[timeKey] + "\t\t" + diff);  
            result[cpuKey][name]=diff.toFixed(0);
        });
    });
    console.log(result);
    old=current;
}, (interval * 1000));

Outputs something like this on my 8-core every n-seconds

[ { user: '82', nice: '0', sys: '18', CPU: '100', irq: '0' },
  { user: '1', nice: '0', sys: '1', CPU: '3', irq: '0' },
  { user: '1', nice: '0', sys: '1', CPU: '3', irq: '0' },
  { user: '9', nice: '0', sys: '2', CPU: '11', irq: '0' },
  { user: '1', nice: '0', sys: '0', CPU: '1', irq: '0' },
  { user: '1', nice: '0', sys: '1', CPU: '2', irq: '0' },
  { user: '1', nice: '0', sys: '2', CPU: '2', irq: '0' },
  { user: '1', nice: '0', sys: '2', CPU: '3', irq: '0' } ]

Pushing this via socket.io into my Flow-Charts ;)
