How to get CPU usage percentage of Prometheus server itself

[abhaydd...@gmail.com]

Hi ,

I want to get CPU usage percentage of Prometheus server.

 I am using process_cpu_seconds_total for this.

I have use rate(process_cpu_seconds_total 5m)

But it is not working.

Could somebody help me in getting CPU usage percentage of Prometheus server.

I suppose that you're missing the square brackets around the interval:
rate(process_cpu_seconds_total[5m])

Thanks Simon 
But even after using rate(process_cpu_seconds_total[5m])  I am not getting CPU usage percentage

Does the simple query "process_cpu_seconds_total" return something?
